Puerto Madryn
After 20 hours and two buses we made it up to the coastal town of Puerto Madryn. The first 4 hours of the journey saw snow covered landscapes, the next 16 hours the landscape did not change from deserted flat plains.
We saw our first Southern Right Whale the same day we arrived and they just kept coming! You could see them from the beach and walk along the pier where a mother and her calf swam beneath us at one point. We spent many hours on whale patrol on the pier! We also woke up for high tide and headed to a beach 20km away where the whales venture as close as 15m to the sand. It is an amazing feeling running along side a whale - a little bit hard due to the 40 mile an hour wind and rain!
