Miles and miles of unspoilt beaches - that's what Valdes Peninsula offers you. Since it's often too cold to lie on the beach yourself you are probably here to admire the sea lions, whales and elephant seals.

Shaped like an ax, the Valdes peninsula is marked by its vibrant coastline, a stunning array of tall cliffs, rocky reefs, and exotic marine mammals. Considered one of the most valuable wildlife areas in the world, Peninsula Valdes is home to the southern elephant seal, sea lion, and right whale.

Gulfs San Jose and Nuevo - more like sheltered maritime lagoons than gulfs - lie to the north and south of the peninsula. Year after year, animals return to these calm, protected waters to mate and raise their young. Large colonies of sea lions and elephant seals line miles of coastal beaches, while southern right whales harbor in the gulfs.

There is a Penguin Rookery on the North shore.
