Puerto Madryn Condos - Reviews and Rates

26/2/09-29/2/09 And so it was three buses and 30hrs later that we arrived in Puerto Madryn. The only reason you come here is to do some nature watching, so that's what we did. It is best known for Wales, but we were off season, and you can see whales in Newcastle. What we had come to see were the penguins. We booked our tour from the hostel, thi...

28.12.2008 Wir kommen um 7.15 Uhr in Puerto Madryn an und finden Unterkunft im Hostel "La Tosca". Wir buchen eine Tour fuer den naechsten Tag zur Halbinsel Valdes, um dort Seeloewen, Pinguine, Seeelephanten und hoffentlich auch Wale zu sehen. Ausserdem kaufen wir unsere Bustickets fuer morgen nach Buenos Aires. Wir gehen einkaufen, ins Internetc...

Today is the day of penguin, elephant seals, and sea lions watching in the penninsula. Have a nice picnic lunch on the beach. See the little salt lakes on the way back and of course all the local mammals like maras. I skipped the boat ride to the Right Whale watching. I suggest rather than paying the 100 ARS and do what other tourists do, put on...

The next day was at sea going down the east coast of South America I was surprised to hear that the depth was 85 meters or about 210 feet. Our stop is Puerto Madryn a coastal Patagonia city located on the Golfo Nuevo. It dates back to 1865 when 150 Welsh immigrants arrived aboard a ship named the Mimosa. The Welsh , in search of independence and...

Necochea to Puerto Madryn on the bus is a cookie cutter experience. So far all the bus rides have been very similar. This bus departed an hour late and was feeling a little lived in. When I tried to find my seat assignment it wasn´t my seat at all. Rolling with it much easier now 'cause it´s just not a big deal. After waking in the morning the f...

The bus trip from Buenos Aires to Peninsula Valdés in Patagonia is about 17 hours. First we cross endless plains of wet pampas and the more south we get, the drier the pampas become. They seem to stretch on forever...infinite nothingness. The wind wails and shakes the double deck coach but luckily we are distracted by some bingo. A shame I didn'...

After torturous 2 hour cycle back we had bite to eat & got ready for next tour. Off in a landrover cross country jeep (not the nice posh ones, the army style rackity ones) to see the sea lions. We had a lovely teenage boy racer as our guide...oh yeah he had no English either. So firstly...as boy racers do, we were brought ´spinning´ through ...

I arrived in Puerto Madryn with Katie and Catherine on Monday, after another bus ride (of course). Was a bit disgruntled though - after teaching them the wonders of the israeli card game Yannif, they then proceeded to kick my ass at it. Doh. Anyway Puerto Madryn is on the east coast of Argentina, about half way down. Let me just take a moment to...

Ja, sommer og sol er det, og altsaa saa og si ingen skyer, men til tider en del vind. Dette er skapt her i Puerto Madryn, sammen med blant annet masse dyr. Har blitt noen dager siden sist, men det betyr ikke at vi har ligget paa latsiden for de som maatte tro det. Vi klarte altsaa etter hvert aa lure oss bort i fra trauste Bahia Blanca, og tatt ...

in meno di cinque giorni dl pacifico all'atlantico.. secondo me e' record... comunque... come sempre la citta' non offre molto... ma la penisola e' guardacaso patrimonio dell'unesco, questa volta pero' come patrimonio naturale.. dicono che ci siano leoni marini, elefanti marini, pinguini e balene... all'apparenza la penisola e' una distesa chilo...
