          Itinerary

          We will depart early in the morning towards the Peninsula Valdés Protected Natural Area, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. After an hour of travel we arrive at the picturesque ecological village Puerto Pirámides to embark and do the Regular Traditional Right Whale Watching.

          Lunch (not included) will be scheduled in Puerto Pirámides or Caleta Valdés. We will travel through the southern part of the Peninsula, crossing vast landscapes of grasslands and undulations, passing through the Salinas Grande and Chica, and outside Punta Delgada, which constitutes the southern end of the peninsula.

          We will continue towards Punta Cantor to admire the Atlantic coast and the fascinating geological formation known as Caleta Valdés. These beaches are usually inhabited depending on the time of year by southern elephant seals, the largest seals on the planet. Depending on the time of year and the disposition of the marine fauna, we can replace the southern area of Las Salinas and Caleta Valdés with Punta Norte.

          From there we will begin the return making a stop at the Carlos Ameghino Interpretation Center, a compendium of the natural wealth of the peninsula. During the excursion we have great chances of observing terrestrial wildlife, such as guanacos, choiques, foxes, maras, armadillos and skunks.
