Valdes Peninsula Full day Tour and Whale Watching from Pto Madryn

The first stop is at the Ameghino Isthmus Interpretation Center, a strategic point to begin your exploration of the peninsula. Here, you will learn about the geology, flora and fauna of the region through interactive exhibits and educational material. From the center's lookout point, you will enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Golfo Nuevo and Golfo San José, and you will be able to see Isla de los Pájaros in the distance. After an educational introduction at the Interpretation Center, you will continue your tour to the various points of interest on the Valdes Peninsula.

Our excursion begins in Puerto Madryn where we will pick up passengers from their accommodations. The first stop will be at the El Desempeño checkpoint to pay the entrance fee to the Protected Area. During our excursion we will visit: Istmo Ameghino Interpretation Center, a space that will allow us to interpret the ecosystem of Península Valdés. Puerto Pirámides, the only town on the Peninsula where we will go whale watching on board. Caleta Valdes and Punta Cantor, where we will visit a small colony of Magellanic Penguins (from mid-September) and walk along trails to see sea lions and elephant seals, always accompanied by a tour guide. The right whale watching trip lasts 1:30 hours and each outing is unique, since we will be privileged to observe these great cetaceans in freedom and in their natural environment. Year after year they arrive to these calm waters to mate and give birth to their calves. Right whales can measure up to 15 meters and weigh up to 50 tons.

Lunch is not included and is planned in Puerto Pirámides or Caleta Valdés. After living a day touring part of one of the most important Protected Areas of the region, we will be back in Puerto Madryn between 5 and 6 pm. Here is included the transfer time from our last tourist stop to your accommodation.
