    Perfect to see Whales and other sea animals.
    Everything is expensive here but in the other hand, everything is well protected

    Peninsula Valdéz

    Vandaag zijn we op pad geweest naar een natuurreservaat vlakbij Puerto Madryn. Vlakbij is hier zo'n 100 km rijden. Rond 7.30u werden we opgehaald voor de deur van het hostel. Erg handig.
    Na nog een paar andere mensen opgepikt te hebben zijn we richting het reservaat gereden. De planning van de trip veranderde terwijl we in de bus zaten twee …

    Wildlife Heaven of Puerto Madryn

    Hey everyone!,
    After a trip to Southern Patagonia, we avoided the dreadful 30 hour busride and substituted with a trip to Northern Patagonia via flight to Puerto Madryn. This decision saved us at least three days because you always lose an extra day to recuperate on a long bus ride. Glad we took this flight because you needed a lot of energy …

    Retour en Argentine - Enfin en Patagonie!

    Après plusieurs hésitations, j´ai quand même fini par oublier la partie Ouest de l´Uruguay. Il venait de pleuvoir depuis plusieurs jours là-bas et mon idée principale étant de faire un trek dans le Parc National de Santa Teresa au départ de Punta del Diablo, les conditions n´étaient vraiment pas optimales et j´ai préféré économiser un peu pour …

    Peninsula Valdés - zeeleeuwen

    8 photos

    Na, althans voor mij, een goede nachtrust om 7:30 u aan ontbijt met uitzicht Atlantische Oceaan.

    Om 8 uur naar Peninsula Valdés – Punta Norte en daar zien wij de zeeleeuwen.

    Wanneer de jongen eind februari/eind maart beginnen te zwemmen komen ook de orca’s aan wal, zogezegd gestrand, om zo de jonge zeeleeuwen te …

    The Orcas Ate the Seal of my Ideal of What Scenery is Meant to Be.

    Welcome to Patagonia Ladies and Gentlemen. On your left you will see flat scrub lands as far as the eye can see. On your right you will see the same. Patagonia gives new meaning to the so overused word, "epic." I cannot express how excited I am over what I saw today, or …

    After a rough night at sea with 6 meters waves and a 80km/h wind we entered the gulf of Puerto Madryn.

    Puerto Madryn is a little town at the entrance of La Peninsula Valdes. To visit the national parc Gylls negotiated a Remise for half the price of what the taxies were asking. For the 380km tour it meant "back to the gravel road" (we were …

    Having a whale of a time!

    We began the Patagonian experience with heavy hearts, knowing that soon our golden tans would fade only to be replaced by our usual English pallor. Fortunately the weather in Puerto Madryn was cracking the flags and we hoped that the penguins had remembered to pack their bikinis.
    Our first stop was Punta Tombo : a penguin colony situated on …

    Calling all you Orcas

    Nothing to report for the past couple of days as I had to take an overnight bus to Puerto Madryn (15 hours from Bariloche). I left Bariloche at 6 pm on 25th and arrived in Puerto Madryn at about 7.45 am on 26th. Spent most of that day in bed trying to catch up on sleep as even thought the buses are extremely comfortable and the seats literally lie …

    Apres un court transit par El Calafate, puis deux jours de voyage, me voici a Puerto Piramides ou j'ai prefere elire domicile plutot qu'a Puerto Madryn afin de profiter davantage de la peninsule (savoir qu'il faut payer un droit d'entree assez cher pour aller sur la peninsule).
    Pour faire le tour, pas trop le choix, il faut un vehicule. Les …
