    Peninsula Valdes

    Whale season: from June to mid-December. We leave early for the Valdes Peninsula Natural Protected Area. Along the way we will make a stop at the Carlos Ameghino Isthmus, where we will visit the Interpretation Center. From its viewpoint we will have the possibility to observe both gulfs at the same time, understand the geographical characteristics of the peninsula and appreciate the Island of Birds.

    Centro De Visitantes Istmo Ameghino

    This interpretation center is a must, where we will know in detail the flora and fauna of this wonderful World Heritage Site: Valdés Peninsula. A few meters away, you will find a panoramic tower from where you can observe Bird Island and discover the inspiration of the aviator and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Was it a hat... or a cobra that ate an elephant?
