Peninsula
Valdes
Peninsula is one of the most spectacular wildlife destinations. From southern
right Whales to elephant seal, this UNESCO listed site is home

colliding, the northern currents from the Brazilian tropics and the southern
currents from the Antarctic region. The nutrient-rich waters create a pristine
and thriving natural habitat for many species thriving in the region but to enjoy this
place to its full glory always book a local guide who has proper access to this
