Specifically, you would save at least 124 mi (200 km) of your life, every day.

The distances in Peninsula Valdes are endless. Choosing to stay in Puerto Piramides will save you a lot of time, money and life. You decide the hotel, hostel, guest house according to your budget. But this is my advice. Of course, I own a hotel in the town, but my passion for marine fauna photography put me in this destination for a simple reason: In 3 minutes, I leave my house and I’m embarking to do whale watching.

Whales tails – Sunsets time in Puerto Piramides

If you come to see penguins and/or the Orcas season you have to go through the Peninsula to Caleta Valdes or Punta Norte, depending on the time of year. In these cases:

from Puerto Piramides, the trip is 50mi ( 80 km )
from Puerto Madryn are 112 mi ( 180 km )
in both cases, 47 mi ( 75 km ) are gravel Only one way!

There are no buses that cross the gravel roads of the Peninsula Valdes, if you are traveling with the excursions that leave from Puerto Madryn or Trelew, Most of the adventure is to travel the steppe, during many hours.

Peninsula Valdes Fauna

And if you are a fanatic, like most of those who come to see orcas, you will go two or more times to Punta Norte or Caleta Valdes, if you think that in your case it is not like that, I assure you that the social environment makes you feel that you have to go back the next day, or you will miss something important. If you stay in Puerto Piramides, you would pay the entrance to the Reserve once, because the tourist village is inside Peninsula Valdes and … assuming that you choose to sleep in Puerto Madryn, you would travel 125 mi ( 200 km ) more each day! If you chose Trelew, it would be 200 mi ( 320 km ) per day!
Puerto Piramides is the most comfortable option. You would enjoy a very quiet town with incredible energy. Well, I do not want to bother you anymore, just think about it.
Here I leave a collage of the typical nights of our tourist village. Bars and restaurants, I’ll leave it for another article.
