Whale Watching in Puerto Madryn 🐋🌊

Puerto Pirámides, a charming village on the Valdés Peninsula in Patagonia, is the perfect spot for whale watching between July to early November.

Experience the awe-inspiring sight of southern right whales in their natural habitat as you embark on a boat tour along the coast of the Valdés Peninsula.

⏱️ Duration: Approximately 1.5 - 2 hours on the water.
🏞️ Difficulty: Easy, but be prepared for some motion on the water.
📍 Starting Point: Puerto Pirámides, the only town within the Valdés Peninsula.
💵 Entrance Fee: You need to pay the Valdés Peninsula entrance fee and purchase a whale-watching tour ticket (cash and card accepted).

How to Get There from Puerto Madryn:

🚗 Puerto Pirámides is about 1.5 hours (100 km) from Puerto Madryn.
🚌 You can reach it by car, guided tour, or bus service.
⚠️ The road is mostly paved but includes some gravel sections—drive cautiously.

Useful Tips:

🧥 Dress warmly and in layers—Patagonia’s coastal winds can be chilly.
🕶️ Bring sunglasses and sunscreen—the sun reflects off the water.
📷 Don’t forget your camera or binoculars for the best views.
🚤 Book your tour in advance, especially during peak whale season (July to November).

A breathtaking encounter with Patagonia’s majestic marine life! 🌊🐋
