1. I’ll be
travelling to Puerto Madryn next weekend. How can I get to Punta
Ballenas?
Our headquarters are located in Puerto Pirámides, in
Peninsula Valdés, 97 km. from Puerto
Madryn (See
map).
If you drive along the National Route 3, turn into Provincial
Route 2 and drive o for 97 km as far as the Puerto
Pirámides, an eco-tourist village. Once
you reach this place, continue driving as far as the second
pier. You’ll find us easily, just overlooking the beach.
Means of transport from Puerto Madryn:
Daily bus services (only in summer), hired cars, “remises”(a
kind of taxis), and the different vehicles that travel agencies
have.
You could opt to fly here and arrive at Tehuelche airport near
Puerto Madryn, or at Almirante Zar airport near Trelew (ie.
145km from Piramides Port) from where you can take a transfer
service, bus or taxi to Piramides Port.

trip?

5. Can I swim or scuba dive near the whales?
No, it is forbidden and those who break the law should be fined.
