When is the best time to visit
Puerto Madryn can be visited throughout the year, but the wildlife that lives in this area is not present all year round. Like the whales, they arrive in the bay of Puerto Madryn at the end of June and stay until mid-December. While the penguins settle during the Argentine spring and summer from September to March. Elephant seals and sea lions are permanent residents and can therefore be seen throughout the year.
How to get to Puerto Madryn
Flight : Puerto Madryn has an airport but most flights still arrive in Trelew, 65 km to the south.
Bus : There are buses from Buenos Aires to Puerto Madryn and the trip takes about 19 hours.
Self-drive : If you like this style of travel, this destination is perfect for independent road trips. We recommend vehicles suitable for gravel, since some roads on the peninsula are not paved.
