QUICK TIPS for PUERTO MADRYN:
Puerto Madryn is a wonderful place to visit in Argentina, and is the only place to see Southern Right Whales. You also have the chance to see dolphins, orcas, sea lions, elephant seals, and penguins. But there are definitely some things you should know before you go:
1. The infrastructure around Puerto Madryn and Peninsula Valdes was surprisingly bad. The majority of the roads around the area are dirt (ripio), so every journey will be just a little slower than expected. Even several roads within the town of Puerto Madryn were dirt, which was quite surprising. Many neighborhoods felt brand new, with brand new matching houses, yet with dirt roads.
