Fodor's Expert Review El Doradillo

Puerto Madryn and Península Valdés Beach Fodor's Choice
Free

Following the coastal road 14 km (9 miles) north from Puerto Madryn brings you to this whale-watching spot. The ocean floor drops away steeply from the beach, so between June and mid-December you can stand on the sand with a close up view of the southern right whales right from the shore, usually mothers teaching their young to swim. During the rest of the year, it's just a regular beach. It's a pleasant 1½ hours' bike ride from Puerto Madryn. Alternatively, taxis charge about 2,500 pesos for the round-trip including a 45-minute stay. Grab some food to go and make it a picnic spot.
