Puerto Piramides
Puerto Piramides, ArgentinaIf choosing to include the Whales Watching Navigation Puerto Pirámide is the only place in Península Valdés where this experience can be done.
The whale watching trip starts going along the coast in both directions and then getting one or two miles into the sea, to get in touch with the Southern Right Whales.
The first stop is generally at La Lobería (sea lion colony). The sailing along the coast allows one to also watch many cormorant colonies.
We will continue our navigation to meet the whales. Once we meet them, magic will start. The boat will stop the engines and silence will begin to reign, interrupted only by the sounds of the sea and the occasional bird. It will be a unique moment where, if we are lucky, we will be able to see them very close to us.
The estimated sailing time will be 1:30 hs depending on the time of year, weather conditions and the number of animals in the area.
Those who remain on land will be able to visit the picturesque Puerto Piramides town and its beaches
