WELCOME TO PENINSULA VALDÉS & THE WHALES

On the Atlantic coast of Chubut in eastern Patagonia is an austere, wind-scorched landscape of vast sheep farms, salt lakes, and one of South America’s most spectacular nature reserves.

This area is a paradise for visitors interested in marine life. Its shores are colonised by penguins, sea lions, dolphins, orcas, elephant seals, and – between June and December –a large population of migrating southern right whales. Inland, the diversity of fauna is no less impressive, with maras, guanacos, armadillos, rheas, and more than 180 bird species waiting to be observed and admired.

The remote Peninsula Valdés offers one of the most impressive displays of wildlife in South America, where the vast, untouched landscapes provide a sanctuary for myriad species, from the majestic southern right whales to playful sea lions and elusive orcas, creating a haven for wildlife observation and conservation.

TRAVELLING DEEPER

Located on Argentina’s Atlantic coast in eastern Patagonia, stands as a testament to the raw beauty and stark contrasts of nature.

This UNESCO World Heritage site is an unparalleled sanctuary for marine wildlife, offering an intimate glimpse into the lives of some of the ocean’s most fascinating inhabitants. From the rugged coastline to the expansive Patagonian steppe, Peninsula Valdés is a landscape of breathtaking diversity.

The peninsula becomes a haven for wildlife enthusiasts between June and December when southern right whales migrate to these waters, creating one of the most spectacular whale-watching opportunities in the world.

We will take you off the beaten track and out on the open seas, kayaking with whales, snorkelling, or scuba diving with dolphins. We have selected wonderful properties, ranging from rustic and cozy to a private cliff-top retreat overlooking this stretch of wild coastline.
