Things to Do in PUERTO MADRYN, Argentina | Puerto Madryn Travel Guide
Welcome to Puerto Madryn in Chubut Province, Argentina! This coastal city is the gateway to Península Valdés, one of the best places in Argentina for wildlife lovers. While it’s possible to stay on the peninsula, many travellers choose to base themselves right here in this city because there are more hotels, restaurants, tour options, and transport connections than you’ll find on the peninsula itself. Puerto Madryn is also a stop for cruise ships, so depending on the day, you might see a big ship docked at the pier and a few more visitors wandering the waterfront. But even though many people come here because of Península Valdés, Puerto Madryn has plenty of attractions of its own: we’re talking beaches, coastal walks, museums, Welsh settler history, and loads of seafood restaurants. So in this Puerto Madryn travel guide, we’re going to show you why this city is more than just a jumping-off point, and why it’s worth spending some time here before or after exploring the peninsula. How to get to Puerto Madryn Getting to Puerto Madryn is fairly straightforward, especially if you’re coming from Buenos Aires. The city has its own airport, El Tehuelche, located about 10 kilometres from town, with regular flights from Aeroparque in Buenos Aires. Another common option is to fly into Trelew, which is about 45 minutes away, and then take a transfer, taxi, rental car, or bus connection north to Puerto Madryn. If you prefer travelling overland, Puerto Madryn is also connected by long-distance buses, with services arriving from Buenos Aires and other cities across Argentina. We arrived by overnight bus, which is a slower option, but it works well if you’re already travelling through Patagonia and want to avoid another flight.

Even though a lot of people come here as a gateway to Península Valdés, we think Puerto Madryn is worth a bit of time in its own right. We really enjoyed the seafood, coastal walks, and museums. Plus, it had a really relaxed seaside vibe, which made it a nice place to slow down for a few days.
