Activities in Puerto Madryn

DIVING WITH SEA LIONS

A new alternative of enjoying these mammals and their charm under the sea.Only for certified divers.

Thus we are part of a constant flux of information; the contents below are the fruit of this first information that still enriches us nowadays. If we ask many questions its because we keep working on this investigation. We are preparing a third report with all comments about tourist services and gastronomy.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CENTER OF PUERTO MADRYN

The center of his small city by the port offers a couple of very interesting alternatives when the time comes for going out for a walk.

The pier: Runs nearly five hundred meters into the sea, presents a very nice view from a different perspective. During the months of July to September, whales can be seen at no cost a few meters away from here, and then, there is a promen alongside the beach for about 3 km, to Punta Cuevas, where, when the tide is low you can enjoy the geography that gives it name to this historical place where the welsh setters land in 1865.

ECOCENTRO: Maybe the most interesting educational proposal in Pto. Madryn. It offers books in English and in Spanish from the best authors and photographers who have visited our shores. It is a marine interpretation center.

OCEANOGRAPHIC MUSEUM: Provides basic and simple information (only in Spanish), but more than enough to learn some things about our oceans.

DIVING: The clear calm waters of Golfo Nuevo are ideal for diving. New generation equipment will be furnished by our operators suitable for these waters. “Baptisms”, for those who want to descend for the first time P.A.D.I courses and special outing like diving with sea lions in the natural protected area of Pta. Loma is a fun and unforgettable experience. It is not cheap but it is worth the price.

Kayak: You can rent per hour or take a guided tour to Pta. Cuevas, Pta. Este o Punta Loma where you will find a large amount of sea lions. You can make intermediate trips to take closer points along the shore and hire a return service.

Windsurf: Pto. Madryn is also the national capital of this activity, its frequently sea winds and breezes, added to the mencioned calm waters of Golfo Nuevo offers an ideal landscape for this sport.
