Puerto Madryn, much to discover, excellent destination with countless possibilities for different activities. Very attractive destination. Whale watching on board and second meal at the Nautico
The view was fantastic. It was worth all the money. Pictures say more than words. The best time of year to see whales is September/October
We carried out the excursion with the Sussanich Turismo travel agency, excellent coordination. We also hired them for the Punta Tombo excursion and airport transfers, they informed us instantly if there were any changes. Excellent. Puerto Madryn surprised me! Eating in restaurants was cheaper than in Buenos Aires, the bad thing is that in some places they were abusive with the price of wine. For example, at Náutico Bistró del Mar, we ordered a Santa Julia Tardío white wine, we didn't look at the menu, it was a 500cc, and they charged us $6,500.- and the Malbec was $4,000.- Later, when we went to the sightseeing, at the Peke Sosa bar, we ordered a to-go drink ($1100) and a large, very delicious cornstarch alfajor ($800), they charged us $800 for the disposable glass. Of course all cash because they said they didn't have internet. The funny thing is that in the middle of the sea we had . Those who went with advance travel did not take it. A shame that they are abused with travelers. That was the ugly part of the trip, the rest of it was beautiful. I would return.
