In-Depth Information
tourism here, but at the end of the day the tour buses split and life in this two-street town
regains its cherished snail's pace.
Av de las Ballenas is the main drag, which runs perpendicular to Primera (1era) Ba-
jada, the first road to the beach, stuffed with tour outfitters.
Activities
While most visitors focus on whale-watching, adventure offerings continue to grow.
Bicycles or kayaks can be rented and area
estancias
offer
horseback riding
. Or visit-
ors can walk to the
sea-lion colony
less than 5km from town (though mostly uphill). It is
a magnificent spot to catch the sunset, occasional whale sightings and views across the
Golfo Nuevo toward Puerto Madryn. Time your visit with the tides; high tides finds all
the sea lions swimming out to sea.
