Fodor's Expert Review EcoCentro

Puerto Madryn and Península Valdés Family

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

From its perch on a windswept outcrop 4 km (3 miles) south of the town center, this museum and research center affords excellent views of Madryn's bays and desolate coastline. Inside, thoughtful, well-translated displays introduce you to the area's ocean fauna and seek to promote marine conservation. An invertebrates "touch pool" and a whale-sounds exhibit—which you reach by walking through a curtain imitating baleen plates—are especially good for kids.
