If you want to go whale watching here by bike, and tourist agencies tell you that the road is closed for bikes as well - don't believe them. Go to a bike rental and they will give you all directions, since the road is closed for cars and tours therefore, but with bikes it's accessible. To rent a bike I can recommend "Hi Patagónia Rental Cars & bikes" with great service and helpful tips
Wrong Location that makes people confuse about Playa Doradillo, and is not the place, most of the review alude to this magical place that is 12km from town.
Exotic and peaceful and relaxing
