Why go

Punta Pirámide overlooks sea lions and Golfo Nuevo, while Caleta Valdés and Punta Norte offer different coastal viewpoints. Puerto Pirámides is the regulated whale-watching departure point in season. The peninsula's open interior, with sheep estancias and steppe wildlife, makes the drives part of the experience.

What to look for

  • Punta Pirámide looks across a sea-lion colony and Golfo Nuevo.
  • Caleta Valdés and Punta Norte show contrasting stretches of exposed coast.
  • Guanacos, rheas and maras inhabit the peninsula's interior.

Useful to know

  • Choose named visitor units and allow for long stretches of road between them.
  • Avoid starting gravel-road legs late in the day; check conditions and wildlife guidance before departure.
