Why the Atlantic Patagonia & Peninsula Valdes?

A visit to Atlantic Patagonia and Peninsula Valdés in southern Argentina offers visitors an unforgettable experience marked by the area’s interesting wildlife, dramatic coastline and rich history. The best time to visit is from June to December, aligning with the prime whale watching season when southern right whales migrate to the region’s coastal waters. Visitors can also encounter orcas, sea lions, elephant seals and Magellanic penguins. The geography is characterised by dramatic cliffs, expansive beaches and arid steppes which result in a stark yet beautiful landscape. Historically, the area is significant for its indigenous Tehuelche heritage and later Welsh settlements which have left a unique cultural imprint. Bespoke tours often include guided wildlife excursions, visits to important historical sites and opportunities to explore the region’s natural beauty.
