Puerto Madryn – Day 2

Today we drove out to Valdes Peninsula. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and Argentine nature reserve. We saw so much wildlife.

Lots and lots of Guanacos
Sea lions at Punta Piramides
Elephant seals at Punta Delgada
Elephant seals at Punta Cantor. Elephant seals can be over 16 feet long and weigh more than 8,000 ponds
Today was another very windy day but the temperature was pleasant
We had coffee before going on to our next stop.
Just a bit farther up the road we saw lots of penguins in a penguin colony

After waiting to see a Rhea for more than a month today we saw several

A pair of rheas crossing the road.
We saw several of this cool bird. A Elegant Crested Tinamou. I love using Merlin to identify birds.

The restaurant we had planned to go to for dinner didn’t have any tables available, so we went to a nearby bar and had pizza.
