Today, Jed and I went on a full day tour to Peninsula Valdes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and crucial spot for marine mammals, about an hour and a half north of Puerto Madryn. Though we weren´t able to get nearly as close to the animals as we were yesterday at Punta Tumba, it provided a great geographical overview of the area as well as a little preview into each of the animals you can find in the area: elephant seals, sea lions, penguins, and in other months, the rare Southern White Whale and Orcas.

Practical information: See Info for previous Punta Tumba tour for car rental and tour information. Tours regardless cost around 180 pesos, not including the per person 70 peso entrance fee (Argentines need pay only 20 pesos). An option for the adventurous is to take the public bus to Puerto Piramides, and from there try hitchhiking. No promises on how that will turn out, but its a cheap option.
