Walking with Whales…

Walking is a good exercise… But to walk on a solitary beach, side by side with Southern Right Whales is a unique and touching experience. Seventeen kilometers northeast of Puerto Madryn – the city gate to Peninsula Valdes in Patagonia- a peculiar beach congregates these gentle marine mammals. There you have the opportunity to walk with them along the beach, or just sit on the soft pebbles and enjoy the sight. Only 5 to 10 meters away from you the whales just do what they come to do to this area: mate, give birth to their calf, nurse them or just swim in the calm waters of the Nuevo Gulf. From mid April to end of September the show begins when you reach this beach. We locals come almost every day to eat a sandwich, zip a coffee from our car and harmonize the spirit admiring the gentle mammals. Few places in the world offer you the chance to walk with whales… It is a rewarding experience… Come and enjoy it!
