Puerto Madryn is a city in southern Argentina. It is located on the Golfo Nuevo south of the Valdés peninsula on the Atlantic coast in the Chubut province of Patagonia. With a good 82,000 inhabitants, Puerto Madryn is the third largest city in the province. The city is located at the foot of the Patagonian Meseta, which slopes down to the sea in the Golfo Nuevo in the form of a natural amphitheater. To the north of the Gulf is the Valdés Peninsula, a world-famous nature reserve (UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999), where the wildlife on the coast is largely intact to this day. Sea lions, whales, penguins, seals and various bird species are at home here. Puerto Madryn is spoiled by many hours of sunshine all year round and is therefore considered an attractive bathing resort. The town was founded in 1865 by immigrants from Wales. At the end of the 19th century it was connected by a railway line, which is now disused, to the southwest inland neighboring town of Trelew, which is intensively farmed in the area. The products were shipped in Puerto Madryn. However, around 1970, due to an unfavorable customs policy, the town's activity dropped and its importance as a port declined. Today it is primarily important as the location of the country's only aluminum producer and as the center of the province's fishing and tourism sectors. Puerto Madryn is known as a starting point for tours to the Valdés Peninsula with its intact wildlife and as a seaside resort. Puerto Madryn has made a name for itself internationally, especially as a diving metropolis.

A nice beach at Puerto Madryn. Deserted at the end of December. A great place to look at the sea, to swim, to unwind or to go for a run on the beach. Or all of it :-)

There is a large colony of Magellanic penguins here, they are not afraid of people and live peacefully in close proximity to the mighty elephant seals.

From the lighthouse you come down a long flight of stairs to the sea lions. Those who stay in the hotel next to the lighthouse can do this beautiful hike before breakfast.

From the lighthouse Punta Delgada offers a beautiful view of the southern tip of the peninsula Valdes. Near the lighthouse there is a sea lion colony.

On the peninsula Valdes animal colonies can be observed, i.a. Penguins, sea lions and cormorants. The approximately 3625 km ² large peninsula Valdés (Spanish Península Valdés) is located in the department of Biedma the Argentine province of Chubut on the Atlantic coast. It is a nature reserve and was put on the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1999. The Península Valdés consists mostly of barren landscape and some smaller salt lakes, the largest of which forms the deepest point of the peninsula at 35 meters below sea level. Of particular importance is the peninsula because of the marine mammals that frolic on their shores and off their shores. These are coastal sea lions and elephant seals. The southern Gulf of Nuevo, formed by the peninsula and a headland of the Patagonian mainland, is the habitat of the southern cape. This baleen whale comes here in the second half of the year to reproduce and give birth to their young, as the waters in the Gulf are calmer and warmer than on the open sea. In the open sea, off the coasts of the peninsula, live killer whales (orcas). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdés_(Halbinsel)
