Rank : 9.2 (average on 10 votes)

Coordinates : -42.504503,-64.067688 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Seals, sea lions, orcas, whales, various types of birds (including the rhea and Martinetta crested), penguins, guanacos and beautiful landscapes. The peninsula is a large area, very dry and flat, a territory that transmits a wild charm. With a little luck you can see killer whales that come to the beach to hunt, but it does not happen very often.

Recommended equipment : Wide-angle, standard zoom and telephoto. Instead I would leave home the macro, I have not found many opportunities for this kind of photo.

Best months : Throughout the year. Remember that the seasons are reversed compared to our: Summer is from December to February.

How to get there : By plane you can reach Buenos Aires (about 800 euro) and then take a domestic flight to Trelew. From Trelew you can reach the peninsula by bus or rental car, rental advice, although it is quite expensive, because the best places are not reached by public transport.

Visits : At the entrance of the peninsula you pay a small amount (about 12/14 euro), you can then remain indefinitely, but if you come out at the time of the return must be paid again: for it is better to save traveling within the peninsula. In some areas it is forbidden to get too close to the seals and sea lions: remember that they can be dangerous!

Notes : Many roads are dirt roads covered with gravel, are still viable even with a small car, doing a bit of attention (it is very easy to skid). There are several hotels and hostels that offer rooms at good prices. In addition to travel by car and on foot, you can also participate in excursions by boat for a few hours, a good way to photograph animals from a different point of view.
