Puerto Madryn is a quaint city within Argentina's Chubut province in Patagonia, originally settled in the late 19th century by Welsh immigrants. The city is located along the Atlantic Ocean gulf Golfo Nuevo, which is known for its abundant marine life, and serves as a gateway to the nearby Valdés Peninsula. As one of the world's top whale-watching sites, visitors flock to the city's beachfront between June and December to glimpse sightings of southern right whales, including baby whales. The region is also known as Argentina's diving capital, with ample opportunities for windsurfing, kayaking, and canoeing along its beautiful beachfront. Fishing trips offer opportunities for anglers to catch grouper, dogfish, and sea bream.
