Argentina's own whale-watching place. Story on: Puerto Madryn

This is technically the Patagonia... but if it weren't for the map and all of the signs that keep telling me this is the Patagonia... I would never, ever, ever have guessed it because it is blazing hot down here! And I mean HOT! I sometimes get that feeling, standing in front of a heated oven door... you know, when you open it to check to see if...

We were docked at a pier today so when our tour was called we went down the gangway and right on the bus. This was scheduled to be a seven and one-half hour tour, which included a drive of three hours each way. We left the port around 7:30 AM toward Porto Tombo. The town of Puerto Madryn has a population of 50,000 but looks very rundown and dir...

Dan We have been to the Valdez Peninsula over the last few days to see some whales. Its pretty far south Argentina, about 15 or so hours from Buenos Aires on bus. We thought this wouldn't be too bad but this turned into our worst bus ride due mainly to some particularly unhelpful service from the bus company, my incompetence and a drugs bust, wh...

29/09/2008 (MON) It's a very relaxing day for me. Kuan's flight back to Buenos Aires is at 3.30pm, so we just chill in the hostel. After Kuan left, I spent my time surfing the internet and updating my travel blog. I also bought my bus ticket from Bariloche to Puerto Madryn, and it's gonna be 13hrs this time. 30/09/2008 (TUE) My bus to Puerto Mad...

Spent two days in Peurto madryn seeing the seals, penguins and sea lions and trying to find th ewhales and dolpins. Met Jake and Yuval and rented a car with them. Had a very funny time. Second day had a welsh tea in Gaiman. Left on Monday on a Lade flight. Had the best cheese and ham toastie at P.Madryn airport made by Paula´s mum!

We took the state airline, LADE to get to Puerto Madryn, hoping to catch a glimpse of killer whales attacking sea lions on the beach! But when we got there, we found out that it is a rare sight to see. Tahera and I were not too keen on PM, so we decided to bolt on out of there given our low probability for fulfillment of desired sight... we caug...

We were glad to get to Puerto Madryn, formally a welsh town that grew up as the main whaling port in Patagonia. Glad to get here as we planned to chill here for a while as we had been doing a lot of travelling recently and were very deprived of sleep. Staying in the comfort of a hostel was our main priority that night and eating something differ...

After some long driving days a stop on the beach was more than welcomed. We stopped in Puerto Madryn - an argentinian summer vacation resort. The camp ground was huge and full, which means waiting a lot for toilets and showers. We had a full day in Puerto Madryn with an included excursion to the Valdez Peninsula - I didn't go. I spend the day wa...

After dining on our first Argentine steaks last night, we went back to the hotel and Boo hit the hay. I went into the other room and tried to organize our bags so that I could leave one at the hotel in BA that's full of stuff we won't need while we're in Patagonia. Got up very early this a.m. to fly to Trelew. We met another wedding guest with w...
