From the ocean, on land and in the air, our fauna shares our World with us, leaving behind harmony and new life in an ecosystem as fragile as the young creatures, born in this great maternity ward which is the Peninsula Valdes.
More than 500.000 Magellanic penguins visit Peninsula Valdes and allow us to observe them very, very closely. Each year in late August, early September males start arriving, then females. Males renovate nests used in previous years.
One of the largest inhabitant species of the Peninsula Valdes coast, tender yet fierce, strong yet fragile, sea lions attract the attention of all visitors of Puerto Piramides.
The orcas, also known as a killer whale, are the largest of the dolphin family. They are found in all the oceans of the world, but only in Peninsula Valdes will you see them hunting with the most extraordinary technique in wildlife: the intentional stranding.
