Puerto Madryn is protected by the Golfo Nuevo, which is formed by Península Valdés and Punta Ninfas, and is one of the most sheltered places on the Patagonian coast. With five kilometers of beaches bordering the city, Puerto Madryn is the gateway to many other attractions in Argentina. Top among them is Valdes Peninsula Nature Reserve, a UNESCO heritage site since 1999.

Puerto Madryn is a really special place for me. It is a beautiful city where you can go in summer or in winter and you’ll have interesting things to do. In summer you can enjoy the beach and go to see the penguins, the killer whales or the dolphins and in winter you can go to see the whales. My favourite season to go is in winter i love to go to “El Doradillo” beach and just sit there watching the sea and the whales. And also there is a coffee shop called "Quemehuencho" they do the best churros in the world, if anyone goes to Puerto Madryn they should try them, you won't regret!

We had a great tour guide with animal bones and other examples.We saw whales, sea lions, guanacos, sea elephants, mara, and sheep. We used Bottazzi tours. Since we were 5 people, we were given our own vehicle and guide. The boat ride was amazing. We saw many whales in groups since it is mating season. Unforgettable!

We pulled in and there were two tour buses full eating a huge meal. We caught the 3:30 tour and had a great meal whie we waited. ix of us got a great tour of the rookery and even though it is late season, breeding's over, molting in process and numbers significantly decreased but still an outstanding viewing.

Located on a cliff overlooking the Patagonian Sea, this small museum offers a different approach to understanding the Valdes Peninsula and Patagonia. It combines art and science in many educational ways with emphasis on the understanding and appreciation of the area. Marine life, geography, ecosystems, ocean currents, evolution and more are woven into various presentations. There is much to be learned about the Southern Right Whale even to experiencing their underwater sounds. Interactive exhibits and children’s areas are good for the kids. Be sure to go up in the lighthouse tower for some good views and possible sightings of whales. The little artificial tidal pool houses a variety of invertebrates. Staff is fluent in English, and signs are also in English which is very helpful. Check on the times the museum is open because they seem to vary. There is both shuttle and bus service from town, but again, check on the times. Admission is somewhere between $6-8 US and the museum is non-profit. Nice little library, cafe and gift shop too.

It takes about 30 minutes to get here from the Puerto Madryn pier by tour bus/car. Once there there are two trails. The closer one allows you to look down the cliff about 200 feet into a sheltered cove to see tons of sea lions sunning themselves and relaxing. A walk of about 1000 feet down the other trail takes you to a different point on the cliff where you can see the previous cove and also see sea lions swimming!
