Rough Atlantic coast

The rugged Atlantic coast of Patagonia in Argentina, famous for its dramatic beauty and extraordinary wildlife, is one of the most fascinating and unspoilt regions in South America. This extensive coastline stretches for hundreds of kilometres. It is known for its impressive variety of animal species, which have adapted to the often extreme conditions. The iconic Peninsula Valdes, which juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, is home to extraordinary fauna. Between June and December, southern right whales, majestic smooth whales, gather in the sheltered bays to give birth to their young.
