| The
gateway to the Valdes Peninsula is the city of Puerto
Madryn. Situated in the area known as Atlantic Patagonia,
Peninsula Valdes is Argentina's biggest wildlife preserve.
Stay here and have the best time in your life in the
company of the penguins, whales, orcas, seals and sea
lions. In this place you can enjoy the flora, fauna,
geography and history of this beguiling natural sanctuary.
The routes at the Peninsula are usually abandoned,
with the typical wind of the Patagonian coasts that
have wry climate. Though the sky is quite blue the vegetation
is bare. If you take a drive around the peninsula after
one hour, you will reach at the Carlos Ameghino Isthmus,
a doorway to the Peninsula de Valdes Integral Animal
Reserve. The Puerto Pirámides village is a constricted
bay safeguarded by cliffs corresponding to pyramids
where you will find rests of fossilized invertebrates.
But remember that this is the only place in the Peninsula
with accommodating and food facilities.
