VISITED SEPTEMBER 2013Puerto Madryn has an unique place to live the real experience with PENGUINS. More than 200,000 Penguins canbe found within the extensive lands of ESTANCIA SAN LORENZO, managed by the same family for more than 100 years. In addition, the owners collaborate with biological and ecological programs to preserve and study the habitat and all it's ecosystems. A huge advantage is that it is the only place where you can have the complete experience in the same area: WHALES, ELEPHANT SEALS, PENGUINS.This place is so unique that the local government "competes" with a second best (PUNTA TOMBO'S PENGUINS), which is located really far away from the other attractions must-see attractions (Elefant Seals, and WHALES)Estancia San Lorenzo is ideal for adults and childrens, because you can enjoy a typical Patagonian food (baby roasted lamb, excellent Malbec, meat empanadas), an unique experience with Penguins and Elefant Seals because of the quantity and also because they get really close! (close means 20cms, no touching of course!). Then you can have the whale experience with a short driving distance from the Estancia.It is important to note that Estancia SAN LORENZO has "no marketing initiatives" going on and that is because they only need "mouth-to-mouth" marketing between europeans, local argentines and americans to be booked way in advance each year. (you can guess who does not want Estancia San lorenzo to promote their unique experience!)As recommendation: sun screen, comfortable clothing (layered fleece/ goretex) , binoculars, walking sticks, breathable mountain shoes, dry fit socks, cargo pants, small backpacks, waterpack, camera (zoom 50-250 or 300), sunglasses, cap. During SEPTEMBER you will see plenty of whales, elephant seals reproduction dynamic between male/female competing with each other, nice wheater dough cold in the mornings.
There is not too many things to do in the city of Puerto Madryn, besides seeing penguins, so quite good idea is to take some rest on the beach. However this one is not so clean, but it is really huge, so I'm pretty sure that you can find there some nice spots.
Drive or get walking anywhere along the coastline of this amazing part of Argentina and you will feel a sense of tranquillity unlike any other shoreline. This area is quite remote and has a rugged landscape with dunes, shoals, cliffs and temperate waters with quite a strong current.It’s dry, almost desert like and combined with the colour of the ocean the scenery is magical. Take a guide or walk as we did, along one of the many beaches that are not off limits to humans - bring binoculars, you will still see all kinds of wildlife that call this stunning area their home.Enjoy your experience!
La playa de Madryn es linda, excepto las algas que deberían sacarlas. Parece que esto es un tema de ahora que falta el mantenimiento. El clima es muy lindo. Hermosos atardeceres
Nunca habia pensando que las playas podian estar en este estado. Estan LLENAS de algas con un olor TERRIBLE. Es imposible recostarse en un buen lugar.No volvería nunca más, horrible experiencia.
El paisaje, espectacular como en toda la Patagonia. Las playas, amplias y tranquilas, aptas para niños.
Costas de Patagonia es una empresa familiar atendida con el esmero del que ama lo que hace. La excursion en las 4x4 por los medanos y tomar mate en el Cerro Avanzado es unico. Visitar a los lobos marinos en su habitat arriba de un kayak no tiene precio
La inmensidad y tranquilidad pero mucho viento ,salvo en Puerto Pirámides donde va mucha gente y los atardecers son extraordinarios,el paisaje en general es una una belleza,también es recomendable la excursión en lancha ya que uno va viendo toda la costa desde el mar que es una perspectiva muy hermosa.
Los días de semana la playa esta muy tranquila, pero el fin de semana es impresionan la cantidad de gente y perros sueltos, a mi me mordió uno y termine en el hospital
Passear por estas costas é demais.Se vai parando,tomando fotos,conhecendo.Só que há de ser em um dia agradável,pois demanda tempo e disposição física.
