Full Description
The tour begins with a visit to the most important Protected Area on the Argentine Atlantic coast: Península Valdés. Our first stop will be the Istmo Ameghino Interpretation Center, located at the entrance of the reserve. From this strategic point, visitors can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of the two gulfs surrounding the peninsula, Golfo Nuevo and Golfo San José. This viewpoint provides an introduction to the geographical features of the region, including Isla de los Pájaros, the rugged coastline, and the gravel roads that wind through this natural paradise.

As we continue the journey, we immerse ourselves in the unique landscapes of Península Valdés, home to a wide variety of native flora and fauna. Among the animals commonly seen are guanacos, rheas, Patagonian maras, and sheep, all living freely in their natural habitat. This setting is perfect for those who enjoy ecotourism, as it allows the observation of wildlife without disturbing their environment.

One of the most iconic destinations on the peninsula is the tourist village of Puerto Pirámide. This coastal town, embraced by the Atlantic Ocean breezes, offers a natural haven of great beauty. Puerto Pirámide is known for being the starting point for whale-watching tours from June to December, when the majestic southern right whales come to these waters to breed. During the summer, the town transforms into an ideal destination for those seeking to relax on its golden sandy beaches, enjoy crystal-clear waters perfect for diving, and connect with nature at its finest.

After our visit to Puerto Pirámide, we continue to another must-see spot: Caleta Valdés. From the cliffs, you can observe the elephant seals resting on the shores of this inlet, a truly unique natural spectacle. The area is equipped with a rest stop, restrooms, and trails leading to the coast, allowing visitors to explore this corner of the peninsula. Here, standing before the vast Atlantic Ocean, you can feel the immensity and power of nature in all its glory. The ocean breeze, the sound of the waves, and the sight of marine wildlife in their habitat offer an unparalleled sensory experience.

The landscapes of Península Valdés, shaped by erosion and the passage of time, provide natural scenes that will remain etched in the memory of every visitor. The contrast between the peaceful wildlife and the majesty of the ocean creates an atmosphere that invites contemplation and the enjoyment of the environment in its purest form.
