Friendly whales, orcas on land, long-legged guinea pigs, gulls that eat whales and a Welsh town - there are more than a few curiosities awaiting visitors in the Peninsula Valdes region, Argentina's best spot for whale watching and other wildlife!
If you've been inspired to pack your bags, you'll probably find this blog post by yours' truly useful. In it, I go into detail about how to visit, where to stay, what animals can be seen here and how to maximise the chances of spotting them - although, as this video will demonstrate, some definitely aren't difficult to find at all!
