Things to see and do Atlantic Coast

The reception is perfect for a tourist destination. A lot of information, and a staff who first seek to promote the region. The staff were friendly.

In former chalet Pujol dating back to the beginning of the last century (1917). Pleasant visit and panoramic view of the Gulf from the floor. A fairly modern expo with a giant squid of suspended marine mammal skeletons. You can take your children there.

Whales Argentina is a whale-watching tour operator based in Puerto Pirámides. They offer travelers the chance to enjoy a unique experience admiring majestic southern right whales from a boat in the Patagonian Sea. The scenery offered by the Patagonian coast adds a special value to this whale encounter. Their aim is to share with visitors the spirit and emotions that this generous expression of nature awakens in human beings of all ages. The Whales Argentina website provides useful information about the whale-watching experience on Peninsula Valdés, going beyond their essential service. Schedules are subject to change, so check before you go. Embarking to see whales and their calves in the freedom and vastness of Atlantic Patagonia is an exciting travel adventure and a communion with nature.

Hydrosport specializes in organizing whale-watching excursions in this region. With over 50 years' experience, they offer high-quality nautical services and hospitality. Their semi-rigid boat, the largest in Argentina, allows visitors to enjoy unique views of the whales while guaranteeing comfort and safety. Excursions last around an hour and a half and are guided by a professional team who ensure safe sailing in the Gulf Nuevo. Puerto Pirámides has been declared a World Heritage Site and is renowned for its whale-watching activities.

On the banks of the town of Chubut, it is the work of a city resident, donation Joaquín Alonso. It is entirely designed with recycled elements (including 80 000 bottles) and embraces several themes. Here, or there, we can read various thoughts for reflection and reflection. Some kind of Jardin Garden garden in a Sorte corner. It should be noted that this park is included in the Guinness Records and has been the subject of numerous reports around the world. Priceless if you pass through Gaimán.

For wind fous, Comodoro reserves a very nice surprise: 17 km north of the city, we find the country's largest wind farm and the second in South America… a surreal image, a little to the image of Comodoro. The park consists of eight windmills that generate 10% of the energy needed to supply the city. You will have the opportunity to see it (from a distance) from the airport.

The north of the city stretches from wild beaches to lost sight. The most beautiful are Cabo Curioso and La Mina. A mirador also allows to observe a colony of sea lions.

No you don't dream, the cave of Lourdes (without the basilica!) has its (almost) copy in line with Mar del Plata. Bernadette Soubirous never landed in Argentina, but believing all ex-voto ephemera on the rocks, the virgin of the Gruta de Lurdes is capable here of miracles too. Kitsch fans will enjoy.

60 km south of the city, you will discover a magnificent lagoon, once the crater of a former volcano. It owes its name to its blue colour, exceptional, thanks to the depth of its waters. The only way to get there, if you don't have your own vehicle, is to stop.
