Cerro Torre Los Glaciares National Park Patagonia Argentina |
Coastal treasures, ancient forests, dazzling glaciers and incredible
wildlife – Patagonia has captured your imagination, but where do you start? We
have cherrypicked a few Patagonian delights from the latest Lonely Planet
Argentina guidebook to get you started:
1. Whale-watch in Puerto Madryn
Patagonia offers some of the world's best whale-watching and Puerto Madryn is
the place to glimpse them. The warm, enclosed waters along the Golfo
Nuevo, Golfo San José and the coastline near Caleta Valdés are prime
breeding zones for southern right whales between June and mid-December.
A standard whale-watching trip lasts an hour and a half, but longer
excursions are available too.
