Sea Kayak and Whale Watching in Patagonia.

Naturally Peninsula. Golfo San Jose. Peninsula Valdes.

In the Waters of the Atlantic Coast in Northern Patagonia, Peninsula Valdes we where paddling for 10 days in a exclusive Sea Kayak trip.












Paddling the waters of San Jose Gulf, we could see many diferents species of marine birds, such as oystercatcher, terns, Cormorants, Penguins, Herons, Giant Petrels and plovers.





The marine mammals were present along the coast with colonies of Sea lions, and the imposing Shouthern Rigth Whale. We had time to learn about the Wildlife of Peninsula Valdes, this was possible from our kayaks, daily hikes and our campsites.











In this Expedition was Karen, Sara and Marcus. Sofia and Pablo were the guides. Thogether we enjoyed everyday paddling when the weather was good (not windy), and trekking to diferents points of view along the coast, the steppe or the sand dunes, dicovering marine fossiles, archeological remains of the native people (tehuelches). Whether spending the day birdwatching, visiting archeological sites along the coast, enjoying spectacular sunsets or listening the sound of the Southern rigth Whale, Kayaking in the Peninsula Valdes was all about fun and adventure
















Also we had time to contemplete from the coast the Shouthern Rigth Whale, learning about his behaviour. Read and relax at the campsite, and enjoyed pure nature.
