Year ‘Round SCUBA:
with sea lions is an unbelievable, safe and funny experience! They are
sea mammals and you can find them in "loberias" ( natural places where
many of them stay all together during certain time) usually small
islands near the coasts or pieces of the coasts over the sea called
"restingas". The basic equipment consists in a wetsuit, snorkel ,
swimfins, and diving mask wich is enought to swim in those places and
share the sea lions curiosity...it seems like they dance around you!!
Is common to see them doing "acrobatics" with just 3/4 mts of water
depth. They are really friendly while they are swimming"
Dive with sea lions is the main atraction.
Puerto Piramides and its surrounding waters are considered a temple for diving in Argentina.

remember that in Puerto Pirámides we have activities that will keep

drive slowly.

Sun and Sand:
The micro climate of the Valdes Peninsula offers its beaches up for
enjoyment and exploration during several months of the year. From
December through March, summer in the southern hemisphere, Puerto
Piramides and its beaches are known as an excellent tourist attraction.
Summer is the dry season and the uninterrupted sunny days begin between
5 and 6 in the morning and sun setting later than 9 in the evening.
Although this is an area known for its winds, the natural protection
that the bay of Pirámides offers means that navigation and water sports
are possible in the bay of Piramides much more than in other parts of
Coastal Patagonia. Even though the months of May through August are
cold, from September to April the climate is favorable, more so than in
the rest of Patagonia. There are many beaches, varying in size and
dimension. Keep in mind the huge tidal change that can offer from more
than a kilometer to just a few meters of accessible sand, depending
upon the beach.
