The protected gulfs around Península Valdés are one of the world's most important breeding areas for southern right whales.
Responsible boats approach under provincial rules and let each animal's behavior set the distance and duration.

Plan Valdés in whale season
Follow Patagonia toward the ice, or take the northern road from vineyard shade to Iguazú's thunder.
Tell me which landscape you keep returning to, and we will build the right Argentina journey around it.
I would travel south for whales, lenga forests and glaciers calving into blue water. I would turn north for Mendoza's vineyards, the white deserts of the Puna and the roar of Iguazú. Both deserve a journey of their own.
