Jutting into the Atlantic like a beckoning finger, the Valdés Peninsula is one of the most remarkable wildlife areas in the Southern Hemisphere. Beyond the coast, the interior of the peninsula is classic Patagonian steppe: low bushes, endless horizons and sudden, wind-carved ravines. Access to the reserves is regulated, and the main sites — Punta Norte, Caleta Valdés, Punta Delgada, Isla de los Pájaros and others — are linked by gravel (ripio) roads. ; penguins, whales and rheas in a single day, something very few sites on the planet can match. Good infrastructure around Puerto Madryn and Puerto Pirámides means you can enjoy serious birding and wildlife watching without multi-day treks or technical logistics.
