Every year from May through December hundreds of Southern Right whales gather around the Valdes Peninsula during their mating season. In addition to adults, mothers will have their calves in tow making Puerto Piramides one of the most exciting whale watching destinations in the world.

This area is also home to penguins, fur seals, elephant seals, orcas, dolphins and many species of rare and beautiful birds. Located in the Patagonian region of South America, Puerto Piramides is a rugged nature lover’s paradise.

Diving at Puerto Piramides is conducted in the New Gulf which is protected from wind, waves and ocean currents on all sides. This gulf offers an array of interesting features but the most popular is the ability to dive with sea lions. These incredibly social animals love to interact with divers and the highly professional dive masters make this experience safe and unforgettable for all levels of experience. This protected gulf is also ideal for those wanting to try scuba diving for the first time and as a training area in which to become certified. And for those that do not wish to venture underwater, you can snorkel with the same sea lions on the surface, all accessible from the shore.
