Highlights
  • Peninsula Valdes - Whale season: from June to mid-December.

We leave early to the Pendes Valdés protected natural area, meeting on the way with the Carlos Ameghino Isthmus, where we will visit the Interpretation Center, from its viewpoint we will have the possibility to observe both gulfs at the same time, the geographical characteristics of the peninsula and the Island of the birds.
Continuing with our trip, we will arrive at the Villa of Puerto Pirámides where we can make (optional) whale watching (June-December) or sea lions, cormorants and occasionally dark dolphins (January-March), during the months of April and May, no there will be navigations in Puerto Pirámides.

Later we continue our trip to Caleta Valdés where we can see elephants and sea lions. The complex has a hostel, toilets, and paths to the coast.

The tour, according to the time of the year, can continue towards Punta Norte where from October we will find Elephant Seals and sea lions but mainly, if luck accompanies, Orcas that come to feed on a UNIQUE show in the world.
Or, by Punta Delgada, where we have the opportunity to approach almost the level of the beach to see the elephant seals.

  • Puerto Piramides - In the only urban center of Península Valdés, we will not only walk and know its beautiful history, but between the end of June and the beginning of December we will invite you to make the wonderful whale watching
  • Caleta Valdes - We can observe the wonderful geographical accident called Caleta, a tongue of water that enters the earth, allowing a great variety of fauna, including penguins (from mid-September to early April), sea elephants, some sea lion and if we are lucky the Majestic killer whales carrying out intentional stranding to feed.
  • Punta Delgada - Between the months of June to December we suggest visiting the southern part of the peninsula, where we can see the salt flats, sea elephants, sea lions and a variety of terrestrial fauna
  • Punta Norte - Between the months of December to May we suggest NOT to miss this stop, we will find a continental colony of sea lions, and the best place in the world to try to see the killer whales stranded to feed.
    In addition to a beautiful interpretation center.
  • Centro De Visitantes Istmo Ameghino - Unmissable this interpretation center where we will be explained about the flora and fauna of this wonderful world heritage site called Península Valdés.
    Next, we have a tower to observe the island of the birds and understand the crush of the aviator and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Was it a hat or a cobra that ate an elephant?

Thank you Hugo!!👏👏👏 - We had a great day with Hugo!! He really was the best guide, very keen to tell us all about the area and Argentina. He went out of his way to try and show us some whales, and we got to see some other incredible cool animals like penguins, seals, sea lions, an armadillo, a tarantula, and a good few birds. Hugo was very hospitable and we truly had the best day with him. Highly recommend!

The Valdés Peninsula is incredible - The Peninsula Valdés excursion is highly recommended. It lasts several hours, but it's worth it. We started in Puerto Pirámides, went to see sea lions in Punta Norte, then penguins and elephant seals in Caleta Valdés... simply exciting! Our experience with Anival Travel was 10, and special mention to our guide René: total genius! (You can tell that he loves what he does, he explained everything to us, he was super flexible with the times, he was greatly responsible for making the experience UNSURPASSABLE!

Beautiful landscapes - Excellent excursion. Beautiful landscapes, as well as seeing penguins, elephant seals and hundreds of sea lions. I also did this tour with Animal Travel and they were fantastic. This agency is very professional. I went with them to Punta Tombo, Isla Escondida, booked the Patagonian dolphin tour with them, in addition to airport transfers. I highly recommend it. Great staff and excellent service!

Too bad we didn't see the whales - the tour to Argentina included a visit to the aforementioned peninsula. in two days we saw a lot of wildlife in the wild, from guanacos to penguins and finally to sea lions, birds of various species and steppe predators. During the journey we stopped at a center that contained an entire whale skeleton. for those who wanted it was possible to take a boat tour as an option, but we refused because it was not the period when the whales were passing.
