We set out early in the morning for Peninsula Valdes Provincial Reserve. After one-hour drive, we arrive in Puerto Piramide where we go on a boat tour whose main attraction is the whale-watch since June to December. From December to March we can also take a boat tour to watch sea-lions, cormorants and probably dark dolphins.

Once the boat tour is over, we head for the South of the peninsula going through Salinas Grande and Chica: Two vast depressions under the sea level. On getting to Punta Delgada, around midday, we have lunch at the El Faro resort. There, we have the opportunity to go down the cliffs to watch elephant seal groups.

After that, we continue to Punta Cantor along the eastern coastline of the peninsula where Caleta Valdés (Valdés Inlet) remarkable features can be observed. Then we go back to the Ameghino Isthmus, with its interesting visitor’s centre.

On the way we have good chances of coming across land fauna such as guanacos, rheas, foxes, maras, armadillos and a variety of birds.

Finally, we return to Puerto Madryn at sunset.
