ACTIVITIES FOR A WINTER IN PUERTO MADRYN

As we mentioned, whales are the center of attention of this season. In this sense, several options are presented. There is the Excursion: Only Whales consisting of the sighting on board, either aboard the traditional ship or in the Yelow Submarine, a small semi-submersible that will allow you to see them under or out of the water.

Another alternative is Doradillo Aventure, an activity that gives us the opportunity to carry out the coastal sighting; that is, without the need to sail. In a nutshell, just a few meters from the beach shore. The advantage? Combining with other experiences that include a delicious lunch or snack among nature.

On the other hand, you have the excursions Peninsula of Valdés, North or South that combine whale watching with Magellan Penguins and Sea Wolves respectively, without leaving aside other representatives of the fantastic marine fauna of the place among which stand out orcas and elephants. You will also be able to see geological formations of the coast. Meanwhile, the sunset watching gives us a spectacular view of the whales at sunset.

Also, you will have the possibility to venture out with other activities such as: diving and snorkeling with sea lions and kayaking and even receiving windsurfing lessons, stand up paddle and stand up yoga, of course, as long as the sea conditions allow it!

Outside the waters, you have a variety of restaurants so exquisite that the gastronomic offer is presented as another of the great attractions of the place. There is also the possibility of doing land activities such as: crossings on 4×4 or cycling. Within this context, we invite you to consult our article on the 10 best excursions in Puerto Madryn.

WHAT TO WEAR FOR A WINTER VACATION AT THIS DESTINATION

As you will see, most of the attractions are directly related to the sea. Remember that Puerto Madryn is a coastal destination, so what’s the weather like for a winter in this town? What clothes should we wear? What to wear for a holiday in Puerto Madryn?

The first thing to consider is that while temperatures are low, there is no snow. Which means that you won’t be exposed to extreme cold like that of other regions of the province (inland and mountain range). A point in favor for the outdoor excursions we already talked about.

Similarly, it is essential to wear warm clothing, especially if we have planned an activity on board since the winds are strong. In fact, they usually blow every day even during summer season.

In order for you to have a clearer idea regarding the weather, the temperature is less than -5°C during winter (rarely). In addition, the cold is not “relentless” thanks to the low percentage of humidity. Puerto Madryn is a place of Patagonian arid climate where air dryness and sunny days stand out, so one or two jackets will suffice based on your cold stamina. Take a backpack where you can store them in case you want to take one off. Dressing in the onion style (in layers of clothing), is an excellent choice for winter at this destination.

And, of course, don’t ever dare to forget a cap that covers you from the sun! Also a sunscreen and dark lenses. Surely at night, if you want to warm up more, you can include some scarf, pair of gloves and stockings.

As for footwear, we advise that it be closed and comfortable, preferably with rubber sole and leather material or any other that does not let moisture pass to your body.
