Puerto Madryn is a coastal city in Argentina's Patagonia. it is the gateway to marine wildlife excursions to both the north and south.
This itinerary will help you plan your excursions to see its famous wildlife.
🚗 How to do this itinerary: You can follow this itinerary by rental car, private driver, or group tours (or a combination of the three). Public transportation is not an option for this region.
There are options within this itinerary to customize it and add on 1-2 days, but I recommend coming for at least 3 days (the first 3 days of this itinerary).
🐋 When to visit Puerto Madryn: Plan your trip around the wildlife. Whales arrive in June and depart in December. Penguins arrive in September and leave in April. For more, reference this fauna calendar.
✈Airports: There are two airports to choose from to visit Puerto Madryn - Puerto Madryn and Trelew. Trelew is only a 45 minute drive from Puerto Madryn, making it a good alternative.
I recommend comparing both flights and rental cars in each city to see which works best for your itinerary and budget.
