Celine and Nadav

הטיול בחצי האי וולדס נשאר אחד הזיכרונות הכי יפים שלנו מארגנטינה, והרבה בזכות היום המדהים שטילנו בשמורה ונהנו מההסברים הרבים (באנגלית שוטפת!) של מדריכנו גאסטון. הבחור גר בפוארטו פירמידס ומכיר כל אבן וכל חיה בחצי האי. הוא לקח אותנו ברכב שלו לסיור של 7 שעות בכל חצי האי, ביקרנו פינגווינים, פילי ים, לוויתנים... מה לא?! (האיש עושה סיורים לצלמים של נשיונל גיאוגרפיק וBBC ) הסיור מקצועי ומעניין בהרבה בהשוואה לסיורים המוצעים ישירות מהעיר הגדולה – פוארטו מדרין. אם אתם זוג זה מעט יקר יותר מהסיורים ממדרין. אם אתם 4, על תהססו!
המלצה אחרונה (אך חשובה) היא שמאוד כדאי לכם לשקול לינה בפוארטו פיראמידס אם אתם רוצים להנות עד הסוף מחווית המקום. בערב יכולנו לטייל על החוף המדהים ולצפות פעם נוספת בצפייה בליוויתנים שעשו לנו הופעה בחינם. יש למקום אופי כפרי של קיבוץ שכיף לחוות אותו כאשר כל שאר הטיירים עזבו את העיר כדי לחזור לישון לפוארטו מדררין...
תודה שוב לגאסטון,

Peninsula Valdes por James Mullany

I would highly recommend Gaston Martin as guide if you are traveling to the Valdes Peninsulal region of Patagonia in Argentina. My sister and I had a wonderful day with Gaston back in April of 2008 when we were cruising in South America. Gaston is extremely knowedgeable about the region's wildlife, marine life and the geography of Patagonia and the Peninsula. Our cruise ship was delayed in arriving at Puerto Madryn by a couple of hours and we were concerned that Gaston would not be waiting for us at our arranged meeting location at a cafe in Puerto Madryn. We need not have worried because Gaston said he confident we would be there and he greeted us with a big smile when we spotted him. On our drive through Patagonia to get to the tip of the Peninsula Gaston regaled us with information and stories about the region's history and wildlife we would be seeing. He was very personable, friendly and safe and made us feel right at home. We saw a variety of wildlife from wild guanacos, a variety of birds en route and that at the coastline we saw penguins, sea lions, seals and other marine wildlife. Gatson knew where the most likely areas for excellent wildlife sightenings were and he gave us plenty of time to view them from a variety locations. Our day with Gaston was without doubt one of the highlights of our South American cruise, he was a great guide and comfortable person to spend a day with. My sister and I agreed that what of the highlights of the day was when Gaston gave us a brief tour of his small home town of Puerto Piramides. It was a delightful experience to cap a wonderful day. We hightly recommend Gaston as a guide if you visit the Puerto Madryn - Valdes Peninsula region.

Martina Bartoňová Czech republic in Peninsula

Hola Gaston :-)Do you remember us ? I know you have a lot of turists who you are doing guide for. But maybe you didnt forget....We send you a lot of greetings from Czech republic. I have for you the photo with us when we were in Puerto Piramides... it was one and half month ago. We have been at home yet. Where we traveled? We were in Patagonia, we told you we would like to go there.So we were in Torres del Paine. It was really beautiful country and beautiful mountins. Here we spent about..I think 6 days. We had nice sunny weather, but only one day we had to go in huge wind and rain the whole day. It was hard but we have good clothes so at the end we were only tired but our things were dry.:-) It was good and we enjoyed under the tent. Next day was the sunny again. In Torres we went the "W" trip. The "W" is trip around the mountains and we could see much nice views of . It was really great. I recommend you :-)We were in Los Glacieres too in Patagonia in Argentina. We saw the Perito Moreno and we climbed under the Fitz Roy. There are beautiful sceneries too.After those tracks we were in Bolivia at the Salar de Uyui. I sending you the photos too , because I think, you have to see it. We would like to go to Rurumbaque to pampas or to jungle,but this time was too rains so on the airport they cancled every fligts to Ruru. It was pity I´v never seen or been in jungle. Maybe next time at the other place....So we continued to Peru. Machu Pichu is absolutly the most expensive monument what we have visited . Neither in Egypt is so expensive. .-) But there was nice too. We tryed aqua calientes after the climbing Machu Pichu. Dont I forget..the train to Machu Pichu to small village Aqua Calientes is too expensive. I know thatś way the turists go there, but its ordinary train...... In our country are many ,maybe thousands trains, we go daily by train, but the price to Machu Pichu is very high for us. But there wasnt any way to get there. That was bad...we had to take the train. :-( In Peru we climbed at EL Misti - 5 822m, it was hard for us. The above sea level (I dont know how i shlould say it ) took us much power. Do you understand me????? Our country is about 300 m,its the same as your.... In Bolivia I had bad day one day. I have some sickness from the high places. We call this sicknes the high sickness. After 3 days i was good again. So we climbed on the top this vulcan, it was the hard things for me. We come back home one week ago and we have to go to work :-(Now we have only photos and very nice memories. At Puerto Piramides there was very nice too thats way i write you. I looked at photos with penguins and seals.....quanacos....and i can only dreams about the hot weather and great treavelling. No I seat at my house , outside there is not good weather. Today is about 5degrease.its cold....someplace is snowy....I enjoy when the summer will come.....I dont like the winter in the city. ONly in mountins when i can go skii but in the city is bad winter.So, I send you some photos from our trip. I havent yet seen every photos,so i send you the first photos what we have.Let me know about you, take care and your family.Bye Martina.

Peninsula Valdes con Javier y Teresa (de Valencia)

El jueves al atardecer arribaron a Trelew Javier y Teresa, para comenzar su estadía en Puerto Pirámides, Peninsula Valdes.
El viernes por la mañana fueron a la Estancia San Lorenzo, una de las mejores colonias de pinguinos de la zona. Tambien visitaron Punta Norte, en donde tuvieron la suerte de ver "Orcas" (killer Whales), así que disfrutaron de ver como Mel atacaba 4 veces a los lobos marinos apostados en la playa, si haciendo varamientos intencionales!!!!
Luego siguieron rumbo a Caleta Valdes y Punta Cantor, donde recorrieron los senderos y disfrutaron de los elefantes. Mas tarde continuaron hacia Punta Delgada y lugo de regreso al hotel. En el recorrido vieron Guanacos, maras, nandues, lechuzas, jotes, martinetas, armadillos y unos cielos y paisajes muy bonitos. Al otro día, recorrieron Punta Piramides, Isla de los pajaros, Madryn y luego volaron rumbo a Ushuaia.

Gracias javier y Teresa por haber visitado Peninsula Valdes!!
