The Best of Peninsula Valdés in one day

Whale season: from June to mid-December. We leave early for the Valdes Peninsula Natural Protected Area. Along the way we will make a stop at the Carlos Ameghino Isthmus, where we will visit the Interpretation Center. From its viewpoint we will have the possibility to observe both gulfs at the same time, understand the geographical characteristics of the peninsula and appreciate the Island of Birds.

This interpretation center is a must, where we will know in detail the flora and fauna of this wonderful World Heritage Site: Valdés Peninsula. A few meters away, you will find a panoramic tower from where you can observe Bird Island and discover the inspiration of the aviator and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Was it a hat... or a cobra that ate an elephant?

Only urban center within the peninsula. We will tour the site and, between the end of June and the beginning of December, those who wish to do so will be able to make the embarked whale watching.

We can observe this impressive natural formation where a sea tongue enters the earth. Here it is possible to observe a wide variety of fauna such as elephant seals, penguins (according to mid-September to early April season), sea lions and, hopefully, killer whales performing intentional strandings to feed.

Between December and May, we recommend not to miss this stop. Here is an important continental colony of sea lions and is considered one of the best places in the world to try to observe orcas by performing intentional strandings to feed. In addition, the site has an interesting interpretation center that complements the experience.

Between June and December, we recommend visiting the southern part of the peninsula, where it is possible to observe salt flats, elephant seals, sea lions and a wide variety of terrestrial fauna.
