OVERVIEW
Valdés Peninsula is a large coastal region in Argentina, with dry plains, cliffs and shallow bays supporting whales, penguins and sea lions, while ranching and conservation share the landscape. The relationship between open steppe, remote beaches and exceptional marine wildlife across a broad peninsula shaped by wind and seasonal migration and peninsula gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.
Driving and guided wildlife trips provide the main experiences, while distances are substantial, while seasonal timing determines which species are present. Spending time with both open steppe and remote beaches and exceptional marine wildlife across a broad peninsula shaped by wind and seasonal migration reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
