Organization of the Safari

This is a safari thought for:
- only one way: for those who want to go to Puerto Madryn to know the City, its sorroundings and to see part of its beautiful animal life, and then, from there, continue to travel all through Patagonia.-
- round trip: for those who want to do all what we have just explained, but want to come back to Bariloche, to their family and friends and tell them the beautiful trip they have already made.-

 

> Day 1: Bariloche – Trevelin.
We start in Bariloche early in the morning towards Trevelin, at about 350km. to the south. We stop briefly at El Bolsón to buy food. We continue our way south to the Los Alerces National Park, wher we will stop for lunch and to do a beautiful walk in the middle of the forest. We will visit the lakes Rivadavia, Verde, Menendez and Futalaufquen and the Arrayanes river. In the afternoon we continue our trip. we will arrive at the Casaverde Hostel in the late afternoon, we establish ourselves and we all together prepare dinner, we let Robert, our guide, rest for a while and enjoy Bibi's and Charly's hospitality.-

> Day 2: Trevelin - Gaiman.
Today we get up very early because we have to travel more than 750km. all crossing the Patagonic steppe. We make a stop in "Los Altares" to have lunch. "Los Altares" is located on the shores of the Chubut river, almost in the middle of the way. There we will admire the variety of colors of the sedimentary rock, dressed by the hard and constant patagonic wind. We continue travelling until we arrived at a beautiful oasis in the middle of the dry steppe, the Florentino Ameghino Dock, which controls the swellings of the Chubut river, which used to demolish with the indian colonies. At dawn, we will arrive to Gaiman, one of the first and most traditional Welsh communities in Patagonia, where are going to enjoy of the traditinal Welsh Tee. After this, we stay there for the night in a beautiful traditional B&B, where Norma waits for us.-

> Day 3: Gaiman - Punta Tombo.
The magallanic penguins are waiting for us in the Punta Tombo Natural Reservation, where we will arrive after travelling a long grabble road, very traditional of our Patagonia. after our first contact with the Patagonian sea wildlife, we start our way back north towards Puerto Madryn, where we sleep that night at the El Gualicho Hostel. We prepare dinner all together once again and afterwards we go for a walk by the beautiful the bay area and its calm sea.

> Day 4: The Valdez Peninsula, Pirámides Port and the Whales-
In our last day of the safari, we go to the Valdez Peninsula to finally watch the whales. There we take the boat (optional, not included) and ina few minutes we are surrounded by these incredible, magnificient and pacific cetaceans. We disembark and we go to the Punta Norte Natural Reservation, located in the Peninsula, were we will see sea lions and elepahnt seals. On our way back, we stop at the viewpoint of the De Los Pájaros Island. We go back to the hostel and that night we take a beer or a coffee, we exchange e-mail addresses and we say goodbye. For those who stay in Puerto Madryn or continue travelling, this is the end of our services. This night is not included in the paid price.-

> Day 5: Free day
- to visit the city, go to the museum, the Ecocentro or to just walk around this calm and nice city and its beaches.-

> Day 6: Our trip back to Bariloche.
- For those who continue the trip with us to the city of Bariloche, we leave very early in the morning, because we have a very long non-stop trip ahead of us. We will arrive in Bariloche in the evening. This is the end of our services.-
