    We begin the excursion at 8:00 a.m., when we pick up each passenger from their accommodation. Then, we head towards the north of the city to take Route Nª1 that will take us to this Natural Reserve. We will stop at the Checkpoint a few kilometers before reaching the Interpretation Center, where we will pay the entrance fee to the reserve. Subsequently, we tour the Interpretation Center accompanied by our guide to introduce ourselves to the flora and fauna of the Patagonian environment of the Valdés Peninsula.

During whale season (from July to the end of November), we stay approximately 2 hours. in this place to embark on the famous Whale Watching (Service - included in the price of the excursion).
