Puerto Madryn and Peninsula Valdes

Under the 42nd parallel, in Patagonia


My visit to Patagonia starts in Puerto Madryn, a small town founded by Welsh immigrants, who arrived in Argentina in 1865.
Peninsula Valdes, next to Puerto Madryn is a fantastic ecosystem where whales, sea lions, sea elephants and pinguins come every year in spring to mate and give birth to their babies

Sea lions and sea elephants at Punta Norte 'sunbathing' to change skin






Penguins at Punta Cantor





Whales at Puerto Piramides...
In this time of the year, mothers are teaching babies to swim, offering an incredible show...
Very difficult to take pictures when surrounded by such beauty...
