Full-Day Tour of the Valdés Peninsula & Whale Watching Adventure

Join us for a full-day journey to the breathtaking Valdés Peninsula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999 and one of Argentina’s most iconic natural treasures. We’ll depart in the morning from Puerto Madryn and head toward this extraordinary coastal reserve, known for its rich biodiversity and dramatic landscapes.

After approximately one hour, we’ll arrive at the eco-conscious village of Puerto Pirámides, where you’ll embark on a boat tour (ticket included) to witness the majestic southern right whales during their migration season (June to December). From January to March, the focus shifts to spotting southern fur seals and cormorants along the coastline.

Please note that no boat excursions operate from April to mid-June.

Lunch (not included) will be enjoyed in either Puerto Pirámides or Caleta Valdés, depending on the day’s schedule.

The adventure continues as we travel south through the peninsula’s wide open plains, passing the vast salt flats of Salina Grande and Salina Chica. We’ll reach Punta Delgada, the peninsula’s southern tip, and proceed to Punta Cantor for stunning views of the Atlantic coastline and the dramatic geological formation of Caleta Valdés, a narrow inlet sculpted by the sea.

These coastal areas are home to southern elephant seals, the largest seal species in the world, which can often be observed lounging on the beaches—depending on the time of year. In some cases, this southern route may be substituted with a visit to Punta Norte, another key wildlife hotspot, depending on the season and marine life activity.

Before returning to Puerto Madryn, we’ll make a final stop at the Carlos Ameghino Visitor Center, where exhibits highlight the peninsula’s unique ecosystems and abundant wildlife.

Throughout the day, keep an eye out for native fauna such as guanacos, rheas, Patagonian foxes, maras (Patagonian cavies), armadillos, and even skunks, offering endless opportunities for wildlife photography and unforgettable moments.

We depart in the morning for the Provincial Reserve Punta Tombo, home to a major Magellanic penguin colony.

After a 2 to 3 hour-drive along vast Patagonian scenic roads, we arrive at this fantastic reserve. The duration of our stay at Punta Tombo will be no less than 3 hours, so there is enough time to walk the penguin colony trails, as well as the Visitor Center. Lunch at the cafeteria/restaurant may be taken. Restrooms are available at the Visitor Center, where walkways open up to experience the Patagonian winds.

We return to Puerto Madryn in the early evening. A stop at Trelew Airport might be scheduled on the way to or from Punta Tombo, provided some passengers combine the tour with their flight in or out of Trelew.

The Perito Moreno Glacier rises majestically 80 km away from El Calafate.

This is one of the largest and the only advancing glaciers in the world, as well as the biggest attraction at Los Glaciares National Park, a 600,000-hectare protected area covered by an ice mantle.

We will start by penetrating the Patagonian Andean Forest and make a first breathtaking stop at “Curva de los Suspiros” (Curve of Sighs), where we will enjoy a first view of this incredible natural wonder.

When we approach the glacier, we will walk down the catwalks to get close to it and admire this wonderful creation of Mother Nature from different panoramic points.

We will be able to see very closely when varied-sized ice blocks loosen and fall into the water with a great thunder, becoming beautiful ice floes in the deep waters of the Lago Argentino.

This day will be an unforgettable experience, a once-in-a-lifetime delight.

Transfer to the airport for your flight to Ushuaia.

Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel.

Take this opportunity to get to know this fantastic city and its history, surrounding the prison, now a museum, “Museo del Presidio”

Departure from the hotel westbound to the Tierra del Fuego National Park, the only one in the country with a sea coast, located twelve kilometres from the city of Ushuaia.

There you can enjoy a ride with multiple panoramic views of the Beagle Channel, wrapped in the enchanting environment that provides the last foothills of the Cordillera de Los Andes before diving into the ocean and Andean-Patagonian forest, made up of diverse tree species -such as, cherry trees, ñires, notros, among others and different flowers, such as orchids, violets and senecios.

A tour between valleys and peat bogs leads to the Lapataia River and Laguna Verde.

Continue along the final stretch of National Route 3, which ultimately culminates at Lapataia Bay. Here, the early inhabitants of the area left their imprint in the “concheros”, incredible archaeological sites that provide interesting information about their ancient customs.

From here return to Ushuaia, making a stopover on the way to admire Rock Lake, which is characterised by the colour of its waters, which vary according to the weather.

Beagle Channel Cruise – Isle of the Birds and Sea Lions

Depart from the tourist wharf of Ushuaia, where a catamaran is boarded to head towards the Bird and Sea Lions Islands through the waters of the Beagle Channel.

The tour begins by sailing around the Bay of Ushuaia, from where you get an excellent panoramic view of the city surrounded by mountains.

At the end of the bay, cross Paso Chico, indicating the start of the mythical Beagle Channel. It borders the northern coast of this channel, passing through the Archipelago Bridges to reach the Island of the Birds, where you can see a diversity of seabirds that inhabit the area, such as cormorants, albatrosses, ducks and seagulls, among others.

Later go to the Isla de los Lobos, presenting an interesting colony of sea lions.

Reach the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse. From there begins the final return to the city, and after the landing, return to the hotel.

The promenade includes 3 important circuits. In the inferior one, the Bozzetti fall, San Martín, and The Devil’s Gorge with an incredible view of the falls, which sometimes are 80 metres high. In the superior circuit, we will appreciate the panoramic beauty of the landscape.

The falls mark the border among Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Three kilometres long with exuberant vegetation, there is a balcony inside the “Garganta del Diablo” (Devil’s Gorge).

This excursion to the Argentine side of the falls allows us to take the ecological train that crosses the National Park. Enjoy a wonderful view of the Devil’s Gorge, walk along the paths, and get involved with nature.

Transfer to the airport for your flight to Buenos Aires (approximately 3:40 hrs).

Arrive and transfer to your hotel.

In the evening, say farewell to Buenos Aires!

Dinner and tango show at La Ventana. Departure from your hotel towards the southern districts of Buenos Aires, San Telmo, where most of the “tanguerias” (tango clubs) are located.

The Tango music was born in the late 19th century in the “arrabales” (southern suburbs) of Buenos Aires, populated by “criollos” (Argentine natives), Italian and Spanish immigrants, some African descendants, and people from many other countries.

Their fights, their needs, their poverty, their passions, their pretense were the spark that created this mythical and passionate piece of Argentine culture. Its emotive lyrics are sometimes difficult to understand and almost impossible to translate, but always deeply poetic. Inaugurated in 1890, in the profound south of the “frontiers” of Buenos Aires, where the city gave way to the countryside, thugs and troublemakers would gather. Nowadays, it is a window to the past, though a show that travels through the history of Tango. It is also an ideal place to enjoy some excellent cuisine and delicious wine.

By midnight, after the show, return to the hotel.
