Argentine Patagonia is home to many incredible destinations, from the frozen lands and granite peaks that stretch along the Andes Mountains to the rugged Atlantic coast (our destination) where whales congregate meters from civilization.

This itinerary consists of different excursions where you will get to know the different marine species that the Southern Hemisphere has.

On this excursion we will visit the viewpoint of Punta Flecha and Playa Las Canteras from where the coastal watching of the Southern Right Whale is carried out.

In the months of August and September is where we have the best chance of seeing newborn calves. These beaches, located 17 km from the city of Puerto Madryn, are within a PROTECTED AREA, where this species finds calm and a suitable place to reproduce in complete tranquility, since births occur in shallow waters close to the coast giving us the opportunity to appreciate them up close at that particular moment.
