The Valdes Peninsula is known for its vast steppes and rugged coastline, which turns it into a spectacular wildlife reserve. Sea life frolics on land or in the sheltered gulfs North and South. The Southern Right Whales come to mate and give birth near these shores in late July and stay until the end of November. You can watch them as they play in the water, diving, tailing and spraying water all around…

Many steppe animals are easily sighted on the way: Guanacos, Darwin’s rhea (South American ostrich), and maras (Patagonian hare) loping across the countryside, as well as the elegant Crested Tinamou, the Hairy Armadillo and its smaller relative, the Patagonian pichi armadillo.
