After conducting a survey about the best whale watching places in the world to spot these huge cetaceans, Argentina charted at the top according to NatGeo. The list also included places in South Africa, USA and Brazil among others.<\/p>\n

The great advantage of Puerto Piramides and the entire area of the Peninsula Valdes<\/a> is the ease of access to short navigations\u00a0that take the traveler<\/strong> to the middle of the Gulf to literally join the community of whales.<\/p>\n

In late May, as every year, Southern Right Whales came together in the Nuevo Gulf and thus whale\u00a0watching season in Patagonia<\/a> began. While navigations\u00a0that set sail from Puerto Piramides remain the star of the excursions, every year more people become adept to coastal sightings as they are very frequent too.\u00a0It is because whales can be seen from\u00a0the beaches of El Doradillo area and also in the very\u00a0waterfront of Puerto Madryn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And then there’s the option of \u00a0submarine whale watching:<\/strong>\u00a0although it has more climate restrictions than the traditional navigations, it offers a totally different experience. If you have several days in Puerto Madryn you may\u00a0choose this option, knowing beforehand that there is the possibility of rescheduling because of bad weather.<\/p>\n

The whales will stay until early December, and from September onwards they will share their territory with the elegant Magellanic penguins<\/a>,<\/strong> which also come to hatch their eggs and wait for their offspring\u00a0to be born.<\/p>\n
