We arrive to Trelew flying 1200 km/745 miles to the south from Buenos Aires. We transfer by Bus to Puerto Madryn, where we spent the day enjoying this historical town. Populated from 1886 as a railway junction, immigrant workers flooded in from Europe as the railway network expanded. Both Welsh and Italian language and traditions are still very strong here.

Day 2 Puerto Madryn, Peninsula Valdes
After breakfast, you will be driven to Peninsula Valdes, a paradise for wildlife lovers with World Heritage status.
We start our journey visiting the Interpretation Centre, located in the Florentino Ameghino Isthmus, from where we have a panoramic view of both gulfs, Nuevo and San Jose. We continue to Puerto Piramide, a village on the south side of the Peninsula. Here you may enjoy a whale watching boat expedition (optional) to observe the magnificent Southern Right Whales that remain in the area from June through December. We visit Caleta Valdes, a natural canal with great variety of marine and terrestrial wildlife; a sea lion colony, and the landscape at Punta Delgada lighthouse. We continue to the Salinas Chica and Grande, the biggest depressions in South America, and to Isla de los Pajaros (Birds’ Island) with their impressive birdlife variety.
