Fodor's Expert Review Punta Loma Sea Lion Reserve

Puerto Madryn and Península Valdés Free

Some 600 South American sea lions lounge on the shore below a tall, crescent bluff at Punta Loma, 17 km (11 miles) southeast of the city. Aim to visit during low tide. You can reach the reserve by car (follow signs toward Punta Ninfas); by bicycle on a scenic but hilly road if the wind is not too strong; or by taxi—expect to pay about 3,000 pesos for the return trip, including a 45-minute stay.
