VALDÉS PENINSULA FOR CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS

Take advantage of your stopover in Puerto Madryn to discover one of the most extraordinary natural destinations in Patagonia: the Valdés Peninsula, a World Natural Heritage Site.

This excursion is specifically designed for cruise ship passengers. The departure is scheduled based on the ship's arrival time, and the itinerary is planned to return to the cruise port with plenty of time before departure.

Once the group has gathered in Puerto Madryn, we set off on the journey to the Valdés Peninsula, accompanied by a local tour guide.

We'll enter the Protected Natural Area via the El Desempeño checkpoint and make our first stop at the Carlos Ameghino Isthmus Interpretation Center, where you can learn more about the geography, fauna, and ecosystems of the peninsula.

We then continue to Puerto Pirámides, the only town on the Valdés Peninsula. Before entering, we'll make a panoramic stop to enjoy a sweeping view of the bay and take photos.

Depending on the season, the tour continues through the main wildlife viewing areas, with the possibility of visiting Punta Pirámides, Caleta Valdés and Punta Cantor. From trails and natural vantage points, you'll have the chance to see sea lions, elephant seals, penguins, and various species of land animals, such as guanacos, choiques, and maras.

During whale season, we'll also be able to see Southern Right Whales and, depending on the option booked and the time available during the stopover, go on a whale-watching boat trip from Puerto Pirámides.

The wildlife is in its natural habitat, and every trip is different. Their presence and location depend on the time of year and the natural conditions of the day.

Throughout the experience, you'll be accompanied by a professional tour guide who will help you interpret the landscape, learn about the wildlife, and understand why the Valdés Peninsula is one of Patagonia's great natural sanctuaries.

At the end of the tour, we will return directly to Puerto Madryn, taking into account your cruise ship's departure time.
