Perfect place for watching whales! There are hundreds of whales right now. Amazing experience. There is also a cave which you can explore when water is low

Wonderful beach inviting for a nice walk.

Despite what everyone says, this is not the beach that the whales come really close to - that's the next beach down the road, Playa Las Canteras. The bluff between the two beaches also has viewing areas that are debatably just as good, since although you're slightly farther away, you have a nice overhead view. To get to the viewpoints and Playa Las Canteras, the road is gravel, but well-maintained (no 4WD required).

Great place for whale watching, you will need a car ride, but its worth... in whale season you will see whales from the beach

Nice!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place to go with friends or family. They charge an entrance fee to enter. The landscape at the beginning is desert but improves as you enter the peninsula. There is a thematic sector to observe the Flora and fauna of the place. The attention of the staff is cordial and friendly. Bring sunglasses, suntan lotion and a head covering because the sun is relentless and there is no shade (Original) Hermoso lugar para ir con amigos o en familia. Cobran entrada para ingresar. El paisaje al inicio es desértico pero mejora a medida que se ingresa a la península. Hay un sector temático para observar la Flora y la fauna del lugar. La atención del personal es cordial y amable. Llevar anteojos para sol, bronceador y cubre cabeza porque el sol es implacable y no hay sombra

(Translated by Google) Located in the province of Chubut, Peninsula Valdés is one of Argentina's most impressive destinations for nature and wildlife lovers. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this protected area is home to extraordinary biodiversity and offers the opportunity to observe some of the most iconic species of the South Atlantic in their natural habitat. One of the Peninsula's biggest attractions is the southern right whale season, when these marine giants come to its waters to breed. It is also home to colonies of sea lions and elephant seals, Magellanic penguins, and a diverse range of terrestrial fauna, including guanacos and choiques. The Peninsula's landscapes combine rugged coastlines, crystal-clear waters, and vast arid plains, creating a fascinating and well-preserved ecosystem. Furthermore, its tourist infrastructure offers unforgettable experiences, from photography safaris to guided excursions led by conservation specialists. Peninsula Valdés is not just a tourist destination; It's a refuge for wildlife and a key site for environmental research and protection. Visiting it means connecting with nature at its finest and experiencing unforgettable moments in one of the most amazing places on the planet. 🌊🐋 Thank you, Peninsula, for welcoming so many tourists.

Reconocida como Patrimonio Mundial por la UNESCO, esta área protegida alberga una biodiversidad extraordinaria y brinda la oportunidad de observar algunas de las especies más emblemáticas del Atlántico Sur en su hábitat natural. Uno de los mayores atractivos de la Península es la temporada de ballenas francas australes, cuando estos gigantes marinos llegan a sus aguas para reproducirse. También es hogar de colonias de lobos y elefantes marinos, pingüinos de Magallanes y una variada fauna terrestre, incluyendo guanacos y choiques. Los paisajes de la Península combinan costas escarpadas, aguas cristalinas y extensas planicies áridas, creando un ecosistema fascinante y preservado. Además, su infraestructura turística ofrece experiencias inolvidables, desde safaris fotográficos hasta excursiones guiadas por especialistas en conservación. Península Valdés no es solo un destino turístico; es un refugio para la vida salvaje y un sitio clave para la investigación y protección ambiental.

(Translated by Google) The kilometers of gravel are worth it...!! At the Parador La Elvira the attention is excellent!! And the place is well signposted with reviews of the elephant seals, which can be seen from the viewpoints. (Original) Valen la pena los kilómetros de ripio.. !! En el Parador La Elvira es excelente la atención !! Y el lugar está bien señalizado con las reseñas sobre los elefantes marinos, que se pueden observar desde los miradores.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience!!!! I recommend it!!! Keep in mind that the routes are gravel and most of the way are not maintained so be patient to travel calmly (a lot of dust and flying stones as some drivers go at high speed) (Original) Hermosa experiencia !!!! Lo recomiendo!!! Tener en cuenta que las rutas son de ripio y la mayoría del trayecto no están cuidadas así que armarse de paciencia para transitar de manera tranquila ( mucho polvo y piedras que vuelan ya que algunos conductores van a gran velocidad)

(Translated by Google) There's no infrastructure to properly welcome tourists. I recommend bringing everything you'll need because it's hard to find everything there. (Original) No hay ningún tipo de infraestructura para recibir al turista bien, recomiendo ir con todo lo que vayas a necesitar porque ahí es difícil de conseguir todo.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place to visit and see different species of animals! Some routes are not very good, you have to be patient. It's worth visiting! (Original) Un hermoso lugar para visitar y ver diferentes especies de animales! Algunas rutas no están muy buenas, hay que armarse de paciencia. Vale la pena visitar!

(Translated by Google) So cute! It is much more worth it to rent a car and go on your own so that you can travel at your own pace and, above all, be comfortable since the journey is long. (We rent a car for a total of 48,000 per day) so you can also get together with other people and pay together with them so that the expense is lower. We couldn't see orcas, but we did see penguins and elephant seals 🦭 We went last week and paid a total of 12000 (ARG) And 900 (ARG) for access by car. We left very early approx. 7:00 am and we were returning around 6:00 pm since it is a long way. We only saw one small restaurant and it was somewhat expensive. If you want to not spend so much, I recommend that you take fruit or a sandwich to eat on the way and your own bottles of water. (Original) Re lindo! Vale mucho más la pena rentar un auto e ir por tu propia cuenta para que puedas recorrer a tu ritmo y sobre todo ir cómodo ya que el trayecto es largo. (Nosotros alquilamos un auto por un total de 48,000 por dia) así que también puedes juntarte con otras personas y pagar junto con ellas para que el gasto sea menor. No pudimos ver orcas, pero si pingüinos y elefantes marinos 🦭 Fuimos la semana pasada y pagamos un total de 12000 (ARG) Y 900 (ARG) por el acceso con el carro. Salimos muy temprano aprox. 7;00 am y estuvimos volviendo como a las 6;00 pm ya que es un laaargo camino. Nosotros solo vimos un pequeño restaurante y era algo caro. Si quieres no gastar tanto te recomiendo que te lleves fruta o sándwich para comer en el camino y tus propias botellas de agua.

This place was advertised as the largest colony of sea lions where you could get up close to the animals. Not true; after almost an hour's drive, part of which on an unpaved dirt road, we got to a cove where, deep down there was a small colony of sealions (a scant 50-100) sunbathing. Seen it, done it, not worth repeating

We got there right before closing so the sun was in our eyes and photographs were near impossible but the sea lions were still amazingly cute to watch. The babies are adorable - watching them bounce in and out of the water. They look like they are having so much fun. It’s close to down - the last few k are gravel roads. Worth going to.

Nice up close view of sea lions on a caleta. Free of charge. Worth a visit if you are in Madryn and have a couple of hours.

The zone offers different ways to watch sea wolfs in their natural environment (as it should be) but I would suggest this one as the best because of two reasons: 1. It's close to Madryn city. 2. Great view of the sea wolfs, closest that other places.

Great experience, beautiful view with a lot of nature, very windy also.

Great place and great attention from the park ranger

Sea lion and cormorant colony, very close and accessible to Puerto Madryn, good info on animal behaviour and environment provided. Small but very enjoyable.

It is an educational place if you would like to know the ocean ecosystems and lives.

An interesting centre, with an interesting way of portraying whales. However, almost all signage is in Spanish. The centre provides a QR code to access English text and even provides internet in the centre. However, in spite of help from the staff, our connections (on 3 phones) kept dropping and we gave up on getting any English information. Sad, given that there was a lot to understand and that there is a simple low-tech solution—providing a paper copy of the information. They could be plastic-covered sheets that would be returned at the end of the visit.

I really enjoyed this place and the nearby beach!

We were wating until 16:50 and it didnt open and there are no note or anything

Great experience and well made tour

Es mi lugar feliz, si venis a madryn tenes que visitar este hermoso edificio Its my happy place, if you come to Madryn you have to go there, they have a simulation of how it would be the underwater sounds of whales and a very good view of the beach

The most special to me was to see the live animals in the little aquarium they have. The staff that was there to teach us a bit and answer questions about the animals was really good. There was an documentary at 7pm that lasted until 7:40pm - it lacks English subtitles and if you watch it all you might not have time enough to see the museum without hurrying up as the museum closes at 9pm and there are long texts to read and videos to watch. The view from the top and outside are beautiful.

Great info before heading into the park to see some beautiful scenery and wildlife!

Nice place to go when you're visiting Peninsula Valdez, guides are really kind, and they will give you a lot of information about wales and other water mammals.

Undoubtedly the best public restrooms in Patagonia, and it's the prelude to see all the fauna of the place

I do not recommend coming to this park in June. We've been traveling for months and this is one of the biggest scams. A real shame. You have to pay before accessing the information center where we learn that you pay an access fee but that they can close the roads. So we paid an exorbitant price for entry to not be able to visit anything, it's just a big joke. the payment point should be well after the crossing point which may be closed because the tourist should be informed beforehand. But obviously it is profitable to charge for access to Puerto Piramides. At the slightest bit of rain everything is closed. I highly recommend taking a whale watching tour in Puerto Madryn and not Puerto Piramides at this time. Because in the end you will pay for an excursion then a rental, then an entrance fee to go to Puerto Piramides, which is ridiculous when the entire park is closed. And the entry money clearly does not go to road maintenance.

Useful information, all the information you need to know about the area. They are also very helpful in any inquires or if your looking for suggestions. Our car broke down and they helped us out with getting a tow truck and trying to find a ride for the rest our crew.

Extensive information center for the Valdes peninsula. Overview of all animals living here, including a whale skeleton.

Great museum at the entrance to the sanctuary. It takes over an hour to get to this point from Puerto Madryn. From here to the penguins, elephant seals, and sea lions it is on a dirt road for maybe 30-45 mins.

This monument was erected in remembrance of the original native indians of Puerto Madryn, now all gone and replaced by the descendants of European settlers

Windy with a nice view

easy flat walk to get to from town, nice views of the coast. small beach just down from the statue with lovely clear waters (beware the jellyfish!)

They obliterated them all and then raised monuments… 😵‍💫

Beautiful little Port! Lovely people,!

Not very nice. But pretty good views

Beautiful views from this location.
