- Transfer from the airport to your hotel in Puerto Madryn- Enjoy your Free day!
Welcome to Puerto Madryn, the wildlife paradise of Patagonia! You will land in Trelew and we will drive you one hour to your hotel in the city of Puerto Madryn.
Puerto Madryn is the closest city to the famous Peninsula Valdés, where whale watching tours are famous! The Southern Right Whales migrate every year to mate and raise their calves on the coast, so thousands of travelers make the annual journey to participate in this natural spectacle.
In fact, the Peninsula Valdés Natural Reserve was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, and is home to many different mammals and birds which can only be seen in this part of the globe. Come to see the whales, as well as short-haired sea lions, magnificent (and huge!) elephant seals, black and white dolphins called ‘toninas’, and the always-adorable Patagonian penguins.
Say Hueque Tips
Our recommended activity for your free day in Puerto Madryn:
- Visit the Ecocentro, a museum overlooking the coastline, where you can learn about the native wildlife and awaken your inner-ecologist. Experience the feeling of being inside the belly of a whale in a room that is modeled after the size and shape of these enormous creatures, and enjoy some amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean from a tower which doubles as a cozy reading room! Ecocentro is just 30 minutes away from downtown, and can be reached via a breezy walk on the beach.
No flights needed for this trip. Trip starts and finishes at Puerto Madryn.
