The links below are some of the main websites that I used during my initial research of planning to go to the Atlantic Patagonia
Atlantic Patagonia
East of the Lake District and above Southern Patagonia consists of wildlife havens and quaint Welsh Villages
Peninsula Valdés - Great for whale watching - You can take a bus from one of the main cities for about $4 each direction
Punta Tombo Wildlife Sanctuary
Located about 154 miles south of Puerto Madryn, well worth a trip
You'll find dozens of charming Magellanic penguins mingling along the shores
Trelew is less congested than other Atlantic Patagonian villages
You'll find an infusion of Welsh culture with traditional tea houses and Eisteddfod, a Welsh literary and music festival established in Patagonia in 1875
Egidio Feruglio Museum of Paleontology
Displays over 1,700 fossils
Located in Trelew
Can take a public bus to get to the museum
Admission is approximately $38 per person
Plane is the best method of travel to get to Trelew
Highlights in the Atlantic Patagonia
Renowned World Heritage Site of Peninsula Valdes where orcas beach themselves on the shoreline in an attempt to grab a sea lion
Southern right whales and elephant seals explore the waters during the months of July through December
Hotel Arakur
Located in the middle of the flourishing Reserve Natural Cerro Alarkén
Breathtaking views of the Beagle Channel, the city of Ushuaia, the Martial Mountains and the various valleys and hillsides of the reserve
Mouth-watering array of international and traditional menus at the first-class La Cravia restaurant or, for something lighter, head to the beautiful Lobby Bar or Pool Bar
Argentine barbecue, spider crab, and black hake dishes are recommended
There are many adventures for guests to embark on within the reserve, from tranquil nature walks exploring the rich biodiversity of the region to more active guided treks to the summits of Turbal and Cerro Alarkén
Hop aboard the free shuttle to the city to indulge in some retail therapy at the “End of the World” in Ushuaia
