Puerto Madryn
Puerto Madryn is located in the province of Chubut, on the shores of Golfo Nuevo (New Gulf). It has a very peculiar climate: it doesn’t rain much and its average temperature is 14 °C (57°F), but the higher temperature in summer averages 35°C (95°F) and the lower temperature in winter averages –5°C (23°F). Its main attraction is the possibility to sight southern right whales, an endangered species that every year between June and December travel to these coasts to reproduce and give birth.
