On the Road Again: El Bolson to Puerto Madryn, Argentina

by Elizabeth

After volunteering for 5 days at the foot of the Andes in western Argentina, we’re crossing the country to the Atlantic Ocean. Another long bus ride and we’ll spend a few days in Puerto Madryn before heading to Peninsula Valdes where we hope to see some whales, penguins, and more.

Peninsula Valdes is the only place in the world where Orca whales beach themselves to catch seals. And the penguins should be guarding their nests this time of year. Hopefully we’ll get some great photos!
