Description
Take a guided tour to El Doradillo, a protected coastal area known for its exceptional land-based whale watching opportunities. Learn about the southern right whales from your guide and watch them from the shore, especially during the breeding season (June to October).
Begin your tour at Punta Flecha, a strategic viewpoint managed by the Patagonia Natural Foundation. Receive insightful information from your guide about whale behavior, migration patterns, and conservation efforts. From this elevated platform, see whales swimming close to the coast, sometimes even with their calves.
Continue to Playa Las Canteras, one of the best spots for shore-based whale watching. The unique underwater slope of this beach allows whales to come extremely close to the shore, often just a few meters away, providing an unforgettable experience. Watch them breach, tail-slap, and nurse their young, all while standing safely on the beach.
Throughout the tour, enjoy the scenic beauty of the Patagonian coastline, with its vast open landscapes, peaceful beaches, and rich biodiversity, including seabirds, guanacos, and Patagonian hares.
