Full Description
Discover the magic of Patagonia by watching the majesty of southern right whales just a few meters from the shore at El Doradillo
Patagonian nature offers unparalleled spectacles, and the El Doradillo Protected Natural Area is the perfect setting for one of the most moving experiences. On this excursion, we will venture into the serene beaches located near Puerto Madryn, featuring calm and shallow waters that southern right whales choose as a safe haven to give birth and raise their calves.
Thanks to the unique topography of these coasts, whale watching is done at a privileged distance from the shore. The proximity is such that you will be able to hear the breathing of these marine giants, observe their impressive breaches, and admire their tail slaps in a completely natural environment. The specialist guide will provide all the keys to understanding the behavior of the cetaceans, enriching this direct connection with the wildlife.
If operational conditions allow, the experience is complemented by a brief panoramic tour of the city's highlights before returning. Relax and enjoy the cycle of marine life on an unforgettable journey that will awaken all your senses.
