Come and discover the two wonders that make Puerto Madryn truly special: dolphins and dinosaurs.
On this excursion, we will travel to Rawson to observe Patagonian dolphins, an endemic species found only in this region. Puerto Madryn is the exclusive place in the world to witness these dolphins in their natural habitat. We will board a boat to get a closer look at these incredible animals, hoping to watch them leap and perform acrobatics.
After enjoying lunch, our journey continues with a visit to the Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum, the most important museum of its kind in South America, home to nearly 40,000 fossils, including the largest dinosaur ever discovered. You will have time to explore the museum, stroll through its exhibitions, and learn about the fascinating history of the region.
This is an experience filled with nature and history that perfectly captures the spirit of Puerto Madryn!
Tour Description
We begin our adventure early in the morning, collecting guests from their centrally located hotels in comfortable vehicles.
Our first destination is Rawson Port, where we board a boat to observe the Patagonian Dolphin, also called the Pío Dolphin or Tonina. This delightful and rare dolphin is an endemic species, with males measuring less than 1.45 meters and females reaching up to 1.52 meters. With some luck, we will witness their acrobatics and see them in their natural environment. These dolphins are extremely active, often swimming swiftly at the surface, leaping, and riding the waves. This experience is truly unique, as it is the only place on the planet where these dolphins can be encountered.
Our journey continues to the city of Trelew, where we visit the Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum. Established in 1990, this museum is the most significant of its kind in South America, renowned for its remarkable collection of rare species. It features nearly 40,000 fossils, including both replicas and original specimens of dinosaurs such as the Patagotitan mayorum, recognized as the world's largest dinosaur. Here, visitors can view impressive dinosaur fossils and other prehistoric creatures, while discovering the fascinating geological history of the region.
In the afternoon, we return to the central hotels, carrying with us unforgettable memories from this extraordinary tour that blends nature, history, and culture.
