After 34 hours of traveling, 30 of which were on a bus…we made it to our last stop in Patagonia on the west coast of Argentina – Puerto Madryn. It’s here that the Southern Right Whales come with their young to teach them the ways of the wild. This is the “bay of the whales”. And we were not disappointed.
We camped just outside town at the end of a peninsula for two nights and sat drinking wine in the evenings and coffee in the mornings watching the whales (mommies and babies) dance in the waters of the bay. It was a wonderful, peaceful end to a superb five weeks of journeying. It’s a privilege to watch these graceful, powerful, but vulnerable animals in the ocean.
