Punta Ninfas
We will then head to Punta Ninfas which is the home to a colony of southern elephant seals that can be observed throughout the year. Get on your comfortable bus and travel 83 km to Punta Ninfas, location of an important colony of elephant seals, whose breeding season occurs from September to December, with their moulting season taking place from January to April. Once you reach the location, you will head on a path of steppes near the cliffs from where we can see diverse landscapes, rugged coastlines, pristine beaches and unique sandbars. If the weather is suitable, the guide will look up a place to have lunch on the beach (Lunch is not included. We recommend you to take your own box-lunch as you won't be able to find any restaurants) Ninfas also features a lighthouse that guides the sailors entering the Gulf. It's one of the points that offers one of the most stunning panoramic views of the area, from which you can observe how the sea meets the landscape as well as watch the tides come and go.

Exploring Punta Ninfas was a unique experience, as we watched southern elephant seals lounging in their natural habitat. The only downside was that the tour felt a bit rushed at times, leaving us wanting more time to soak in the stunning coastal views.

We had an incredible time spotting southern elephant seals lounging on the beach at Punta Ninfas during our tour from Puerto Madryn in Argentina. The guides were passionate and knowledgeable, making the experience even more engaging, though the drive could have been a bit smoother.
