Puerto Madryn

We arrived early and got sorted with a car as it is the cheapest way to see the sites.
Penguins: We went to the largest penguin sanctuary in Puerto Tombo, with over 400 thousand Magellan Penguins. They are small little fellows but still cool. The sanctuary consisted of a 3k walk with bi-lingual notice boards which contained interesting facts and information about the area and all the wildlife. Even had some penguins walk the tourist trail.

Whales: Next day we went to Pennisula Valdes, a protected area. First stop was Puerto Pramides where we got a boat out to do some whale watching. We were brought right up to a 40tonne mother with her 5tonne calf swimming around her. There was not much excitment from them though. We managed to see a few seals and elephant seals also.
