Puerto Madryn Hotels - Reviews and Rates

...Well the 17 hour bus journey, predictably, turned into a 20 hour bus journey.
As I'm sure you will soon be able to tell, this is Tiago writing and not Jemma. Having arrived feeling surprisingly perky given the lengthy journey, we made our way to the hostel where we met our lovely host Gladys. Considering that quite a few of the people in ...

On account of how Puerto Madryn was settled by a boatload (150, give or take) of Welsh immigrants in the 1860s (I guess there wasn´t much to do at home), and how there´s a large colony of Southern right whales around these parts, I was going to make some silly joke about whalers from Wales, but I think I´ll spare you guys. Puerto Madryn is a bea...

After escaping the continious drinking and partying of Buenos Aires it was time to do some proper travelling and discover the naturous beauty of Argentina. Upon arrival in Puerto Madryn I found a like minded friend, Nicole, who, like myself, likes to dance, drink and is stingy as well. Puerto Madryn is mostly visited for the wildlife; sealions, ...

Patagonia is awesome, so full of natural history. We have had an amazing stay here and will be sorry to leave. Puerto Madryn is a quiet little town in the province of Chubut but is a central location to explore the other parts; Peninsula Valdes, Trelew, Rawson and Punto Tombo. All of there had something different to offer. We spent the first nig...

We have now left the cold and wind of Tierra Del Fuego at the base of South America and are now about half way up the Atlantic coast of Argentina in a beautiful spot called Puerto Madryn on the Valdes Peninsula. The main attraction of this spot is the wildlife so our two days here are all about penguins, elephant seals and whales...and we´ve see...

60km to the north of Puerto Madryn lies Peninsula Valdez, a national park and a excelent place to see mostly marine wildlife. At some times of the year you are likely to see amongst other things Southern Wright Wales, Killer Whales and Elephant Seals. It was out of season for the whales sadly (maybe Ill see some later), but I did get so see a fe...

Puerto Madryn ===ABOUT THE SMALL TOWN=== A mecca for those wanting to visit the natural sites and fauna of the coast in the northern part of Patagonia. Here the early maritime mythologies come alive. The first conquistadors saw unattractive mermaids in the sea, and also believed that their ships were landing on scary sea creatures. In reality, t...

Our car's a 1.6 Chevrolet Corsa. It's a horrible thing to drive. Two pictures of hire cars which have been rolled by tourists are attached to the dashboard as a warning. We drive 80 km north to the Peninsula Valdes but we're told at the park entrance that it's too windy for boats to go whale watching. We go south to Punto Tumbo instead. Penguins...

Well, I managed to drag myself away from the farm and, following a very uncomfortable overnight bus (I swear my seat must have been smaller than everyone elses!) I have now arrived in Puerto Madryn on the East Coast. The weather is wonderful and I spent yesterday afternoon on the beach making the most of the warm weather! It is supposed to be a ...

Puerto Madryn Somewhat relieved to see and hear English again after the unintelligble Spanish of Southern Argentina, we found Puerto Madryn to be tourist heaven. Obviously the place is doing very well under the neverending stream of ecowarriors and naturefreaks that come in search of the whale. What we found, however, was Wales. Patagonia has kn...
