Whale Watching…

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Whale watching in Puerto Madryn is one of the most amazing things you can see in Patagonia. The whale tours are located in Peninsula Valdes, about an hours drive from the city. You can arrange for tours in Puerto Madryn or drive yourself into the Peninsula in one of only two locations where you can go whale watch. The tours are many and you won’t have a problem finding a boat that can take you out within the hour. The tours last about an hour and a half and will cost around AR$ 45.

At the right time of year (Oct-Dec) for the Southern Right Whales and (Jan- March) for the Orcas are by far the best time to go and check it all out.

A Top Travel Destination

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Mendoza Argentina is making a HUGE name for itself as one of South America´s top travel destinations. The wine coming out of Mendoza is perhaps some of the most popular worldwide, competing well against Chile for exports where as years ago, it was still very much maturing.

Mendoza´s wine festival brings in almost 20,000 people for the long weekend and is held at the end of March, a great time to see the city. Now, too is a great time to visit to take in not only a bevy of wines, but rafting, hiking and gorgeous scenery.

Visit Mendoza for some great travel times!
