My Trip to The Land of Ocean Wildlife<\/h1>\n

The magical waters around Patagonia are home to a large amount of marine life and cover several tourist spots and essential landscapes to visit.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Puerto Madryn and Pen\u00ednsula Vald\u00e9s<\/h3>\n

Puerto Madryn is located at the east side of the Argentinean Patagonia Argentina, right in front of the Golfo Nuevo (New Gulf), where the main star is the Ballena Franca Austral (Southern right whale), who reach the cost to procreate, only on a specific season, and thousands of tourists tend to its visit.
\nBut this is not the only species that you will find there. You can also do orcas, sea wolves, sea lions and Commerson\u2019s dolphins watching, among others.
\nThese animals are not present during the whole year. Each species have a marked season. The Southern right whale season is the second semester of each year: from mid June to mid December approx. The months when you can find more animals are October, November and December.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gmaps link=”#E-8_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”][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How to get there?<\/h3>\n

You must arrive to Trelew city, where the airport is located, and take a 1 – 1,5hs transfer to Puerto Madryn.
\nVery close to the airport there is the Paleontological Museum, an interesting journey to the past, studying the paleontological richness of Patagonia.<\/p>\n

Accomodation<\/h3>\n

The first stay option, in terms of variety and location, is Puerto Madryn, where you will find 3*, 4* and 5* hotels, most of them with a sea view in the rooms.<\/p>\n

Before getting to Peninsula Valdes, there is Puerto Pir\u00e1mides, that offers simple acommodation like the Eco-hotel del N\u00f3made or Hoster\u00eda Las Restingas, with beach access.
\nThose clients that want to stay in each of these cities, can be picked up from their hotels for shared tours.<\/p>\n

For people with a good budget, there are good alternatives in Pen\u00ednsula Vald\u00e9s, on the other side of the bay, where they can get with a rental car or a private transfer<\/p>\n

There are historic estancias (ranch) such as Rinc\u00f3n Chico and El Pedral, that offer all the necessary services for the perfect stay: all meals and a wide variety of activities are included in the rate, so you don\u2019t have to worry about anything.<\/p>\n

Activities<\/h3>\n

The main tour is, of course, the whales watching navigation. This animal shows up, during its specific season, along the whole gulf, but we recommend seeing it from El Doradillo beach, where
\nit can come closer to the shore, as the surface is quite wide.
\nTours depart from Puerto Pir\u00e1mides and there are 2 kind of navigation:<\/p>\n
