Peninsula Valdés, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999 for the extraordinary value of its biodiversity. This portion of land joined by an isthmus to the continent is a breeding site for animals such as southern right whales, which come every year, from June to December, to the waters of the San Jose and Nuevo gulfs to mate, give birth to their pups and wean those from the previous year. Other animals that choose these coasts are elephant seals, which can be seen throughout the year, as well as reserves of fur seals, during different stages such as mating, breastfeeding, shedding, etc. It is also the place that some families of orcas choose to feed and where they developed a unique hunting technique, intentional stranding, protruding a large part of their body over the shore in order to reach the pups of sea lions and elephant seals. Its gravel roads are surrounded by nature, you can observe many species of sea and land birds such as cormorants, seagulls, petrels, penguins, jacks, harriers, calandrias, among others.
