I saw a whale!
by andal13
We spent three days at Puero Madryn, but they were full of activities, so we had not time enough to know the city; nevertheless, it looks like a very attractive place, situated at a beautiful gulf.
Estuvimos tres días en Puerto Madryn, pero estaban tan llenos de actividades que no tuvimos tiempo suficiente para conocer la ciudad; sin embargo, parece ser un lugar muy atractivo, situado sobre un hermoso golfo. We were arriving in Puerto Madryn on the bus, after a 27 hours ride, when we met the seaside: over there, at the sea, we began to "discover" the amazing whales!!!!

Punta Lomo
by HispanicYob
Punta Lomo is located quite a distance from Puerto Madryn. About almost a half an hour along the city coastline and through the back of the desert that is in the outskirts of town. The best time of year to catch the sea lions seems to be spring (winter over here for the Northern Hemisphere), as that's the time I was there. There's a outlook that sticks out from the side of the cliff where you can, from a distance, observe these creatures. They're quite noisy.
Guanacos
by Maggies
Guanacos live only in South America - from northern Andes to its sothern tip. They are reddish-brown on the back, and almost white on the underside and they are closely related to the camel. Guanacos live in small herds made up of a male, several females, and young of various ages. You will most likely see many of them along the road. Be careful if you're the driver!
Sea Lions
by Maggies
Punta Norte (171 km from Purto Madryn) is where the only Sea Lions continental colony is. An adult weights up to 300 kilos. They come here every August for matting and you can see them on the place all year round. In March you can also see Killer Whales hunting for the Sea Lions, they usually come once a day.
Penguins

The penguins of Magallanes (Spheniscus magellanicus) reach 45 cm high and 4 or 5 Kg weight; the males have a bill longer and thicker than the females. The picture shows a male with his elegant black and white suit.
