Exclusive Argentina Wildlife Photography Experience

The Valdés Peninsula is a coastal accident located in the northeast of the province of Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina. It is a protected natural area that houses a great biodiversity characteristic of the Patagonian region. Due to its geographical particularity and biological importance, it is one of the nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Argentina.

Its waters make up the habitat of marine mammals such as the Southern Right Whale, orcas, dolphins, sea lions and elephant seals. Its rocky beaches show in different strata a large sample of marine fossils. They are scenery characterized by very high cliffs, bays with extensive intertidal zones, sandy beaches, pebbles and resting as (intertidal platforms of sedimentary rock) that offer food to various species of coastal birds, as well as many photographic opportunities.

With its back to the sea, there are field of dunes formed by the wind and the erosion of the coastal rock over millions of years. We can enter an environment of shrubby steppe, where birds and terrestrial fauna are perfectly adapted to an arid situation. In this area there is not much water and blending in with the environment or being fast are the best options for survival. They are territories inhabited by guanacos, foxes, pumas, skunks, hairy ones, maras and other smaller rodents, as well as reptiles, birds of prey, choiques and small birds endemic to Patagonia and the southern cone.
