*Schedules are subject to cruise departure times
We’ll be waiting for you at the Port of Puerto Madryn to start our excursion to Península Valdés. Our first stop will be at the Istmo Carlos Ameghino Interpretation Center, where you’ll learn about the peninsula’s flora, fauna, geology, and historical events. From the panoramic viewpoint, you’ll enjoy impressive views of Golfo Nuevo, San José, and Isla de los Pájaros.
Next, we’ll explore various trails and viewpoints that will allow us to get up close to the landscape and wildlife. Depending on the time of year, weather, and tides, we’ll visit points of interest such as Caleta Valdés, Punta Cantor, and Punta Norte. Here, you’ll be able to observe elephant seals, penguins, and sea lions, and you’ll have the option to enjoy lunch (at your own expense).
In some seasons, you may even spot orcas in action. If time permits, we’ll also visit a nearby penguin colony or the sea lion reserve in Punta Norte. In addition to marine wildlife, you’ll have the chance to see terrestrial animals typical of the region, such as guanacos, maras, rheas, foxes, and armadillos, as well as two significant salt flats, the deepest depressions in South America.
If conditions don’t allow for a visit to Punta Norte, we’ll head to Punta Delgada, at the southeastern tip of the peninsula. Here, you’ll find a historic lighthouse and an elephant seal colony.
Finally, in the afternoon, we’ll return to the meeting point at the Port of Puerto Madryn, where your cruise ship will be waiting. You’ll have experienced the incredible nature of Península Valdés.
