About the destination

The city of Puerto Madryn is located in the eastern region of the Province of Chubut on the Atlantic coast in the Patagonia region of Argentina. It is considered one of the best places in the world for watching marine animals in their natural habitat. Puerto Madryn is the base for most tourists who come to see two beautiful Nature Reserves. These are Peninsula Valdes and also Punta Tombo. Both of them are unique wildlife sanctuaries. Here one can see penguins, a great number of sea lions, elephant seals, dolphins, a wide variety of birds and whales. Whale watching is very popular activity and attracts tourists en masse. The UNESCO has declared the Peninsula to be a Natural World Heritage. The clean waters, the whole untamed nature, the wild Patagonia environment, and the idyllic solitude of a huge desert works like a magnetic force for nature lovers. But don’t despair, there are loads of tasty restaurants and some excellent shopping in town, plus lovely sandy beaches.

Costa de Gigantes (from downtown area hotels)

An Exclusive Whale Experience in Península Valdés

Discover a one-of-a-kind experience in Península Valdés, created to connect you with the most authentic nature of Patagonia.

Costa de Gigantes combines coastal whale watching, an interpretive walk through an exclusive natural setting, and the excitement of a boat-based whale watching experience in the waters of Puerto Pirámides.

Throughout the journey, we will visit beaches where southern right whales come within just a few meters of the shore, offering unforgettable encounters in complete harmony with the natural environment.

The experience continues with exclusive access to Bahía de las Ballenas, located within Estancia Las Charas, a unique site where we will enjoy a coastal trekking experience accompanied by expert naturalist guides. Along the way, we will discover whale bones, ancient maritime stories, and untouched landscapes that very few visitors have the opportunity to explore.

Finally, we will sail from Puerto Pirámides for a boat-based whale watching excursion, observing these ocean giants from an entirely different perspective.

With small groups and personalized attention, Costa de Gigantes offers a more intimate, meaningful, and authentic way to discover the whales of Península Valdés
