Holiday October, 12: Photosafari and Whales Sight - Península Valdés and Puerto Madryn

                    

A poignant world of life

When we suddenly experience the inmensity of the soul of some supreme portion of nature, many times we get touched not only because of the appreciation of the show itself, but mainly by the simple energy that it irradiates. This is the case of the wonderful natural habitat of the northeast of Chubut, precisely at Mar Argentino coasts. There converge many marine species which, at many cases, are unique in the world. The biggest prize is one of the best Natural Monuments we possess in our country: The  Franca Austral Whale. Seeing them dancing, from land or board, drinking mate or eating chocolate, at morning or sunset, is an unforgettable thing, those whales...who salute with their tails, sometimes far, sometimes closely, give us their jumps that only can be contemplated in silence... Walking on the beach, disrupting naps of the marine elephants. A walk along the beach, interrumpting the nap of more than one marine elephant, or watching the skillfull fishing of cormorants, or just a few mates on the cliff edge staring at the sunset drawing their colors in the sea, are imperative activities.At night that sky that prevent us to dislodge the eyes of the stars, sorrounding and embracing us. The península Valdés is a unique place in the World, the inmensity of the landscapes and the wealth of the fauna make the visit more than a simple trip.
