Peninsula Valdez Tours | Private & Tailor-made | Uncover South America

Argentina Tours Visit Peninsula Valdez & Puerto Madryn

Explore with us this unique wildlife lover's paradise, stay in a local estancia, spot whales, sea lions or penguins and immerse yourself in the magnificent natural scenery of the Peninsula.

One of South America's best nature reserves

Peninsula Valdez on the Atlantic coast of northern Patagonia is a wildlife lovers' paradise. This UNESCO-registered nature reserve hosts a great variety of marine mammals and seabird. A tour to Peninsula Valdez will give you the chance to see in their natural habitat Southern right whales, orcas, elephant seals, sea lions and huge penguin colonies.

The Peninsula is only connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. The landscape of Peninsula Valdés is mainly dry and desolate but provides the perfect natural shelters for marine mammals and birds. It is adorned by numerous coastal lagoons, sand dunes, wetlands and mudflats. The breathtaking scenery here is undeniably one of the most stunning you will see on any of our Argentina tours.

    Wildlife, fossils and Welsh heritage

    Puerto Madryn is the gateway to Peninsula Valdez and other nature reserves along its neighbouring coastline. Estancia Punta Norte and Punta Delgada, in the Peninsula, are great to see sea lions, elephant seals, and Magellanic penguins, while Puerto Pirámides is perfect for whale watching tours. Punta Tombo nature reserve, located 3 hours driving south, hosts the largest Magellanic penguin colony outside Antarctica.

    All-year-round is good to see elephant seals, sea lion Commerson's dolphins and seabirds; whilst orcas are present from October to April, and penguins from September to March. Peak numbers of whales occur from September to November. 

    The villages of Trelew and Gaiman still maintain the legacy of Wales settlers that arrived in 1865. Welsh tea rooms and Argentinians speaking in Welsh are not uncommon here.  Trelew is also home to the best Museum of Paleontology in South America.
