What to know before visiting Puerto Madryn

Puerto Madryn is a port city located in the Chubut province, in the Patagonia region of Argentina, on the Atlantic coast. It is known as one of the most important tourist centers for observing marine life and spectacular natural landscapes.
Geographically, Puerto Madryn is located in a semi-arid area, with a temperate and slightly windy climate. The city is the gateway to the Valdes Peninsula, a UNESCO nature reserve famous for its marine biodiversity.
Historically, Puerto Madryn was founded in 1865 by Welsh colonists, who arrived to settle in this isolated area, seeking religious freedom and agricultural opportunities. The name of the city comes from the name of a Welsh ship, the Madryn, which brought the first settlers.
