I received all the vouchers in time prior the travel (airport transfers, accommodation, activity and bus tickets/vouchers). I had some questions during the preparation period which were promptly answered by Hi Travel team. From the first to the last day everything was well organized. You need to be a bit flexible person if you take this trip because of the hostel type of accommodation and the long traveling time by bus (altogether 118 hours=5 full days). But hey, the price is good! ???? Programs were good, tourist guides always came and picked me up at the exact meeting points and time. One of my programs was cancelled due to worker's strike, I contacted Hi Travel Argentina straight away and the price was refunded in 1 hour by TourRadar. All in all, I was very satisfied with this trip and can recommend it to others.

The tour was well coordinated and the itinerary was great! I saw most parts of Argentina and it was beautiful. The guides are all good except for the guide in Iguazu Argentina side, Jorge. He lost part of the group and didn’t give clear instructions at all. The hostels were pretty good except for de Glacier hostel at El Calafate because they broke my luggage and refused any responsibility. Marcela who was my tour coordinator from Say hueque was very nice and responsive to my questions especially when my luggage was spoilt.

We were able to see many of Argentina's highlights with this tour. Every stop on this tour is spectacular and very memorable. It is a shared service so all tours were in Spanish and English. The guides were excellent, but had to juggle both languages for the guests. Even though this tour was pieced together to accommodate what we wanted to see, everything worked and we were always notified of when our transfers would be, scheduled tours would be taking place, and drivers were always waiting. Very good attention to details. This company went above and beyond when my husband's cell phone fell out of his pocket in the van on an early morning transfer. I thought it would be lost, but the driver found it, the company arranged for it to be taken to Buenos Aires and the next driver delivered it!! Now that is service!!

Thank you so much for the perfect vacation to Puerto Madryn! Everything went as planned and all the sites exceeded our expectations. We all enjoyed the penguin colony and whale watching.

Argentina is a beautiful and impressive country and I would recommend anyone who has a chance to visit.
We are back home from the trip. We really enjoyed Argentina. All the arrangements were good. We were very impressed with the All Patagonia travel agency.

What are Machu Picchu’s operating hours?

Machu Picchu is open from 6:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m. every day including weekends and holidays.

Which Machu Picchu tour is best for adrenaline seekers?

The Machu Picchu ruins have two on-site hikes: Huayna Picchu Mountain and Machu Picchu Mountain. Both can be combined with a Machu Picchu tour and take 2–3 and 4–5 hours to complete, respectively. For even more adventure, you can hike over multiple days to Machu Picchu via the Inca Trail, Lares or Salkantay treks.

Where should I stay if I spend multiple days at Machu Picchu?

Machu Picchu hotel and hostel options are plentiful in Aguas Calientes, the town at the base of the Machu Picchu ruins. Our Top Pick hotels here are:

  • 5-Star Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel
  • 4-Star El Mapi
  • 3-Star Casa Andina Standard Machu Picchu
  • 2-Star Waman Hotel

How many days do I need to tour Machu Picchu?

1–2 days. Two days and one night is the best amount of time to tour Machu Picchu at a leisurely pace: one day to arrive by train and another for the tour and return to Cusco. A whirlwind one-day Machu Picchu tour from Cusco is possible but it will be a long 16–17 hour day.

How long is a guided tour of Machu Picchu?

A guided tour of Machu Picchu is 2 hours long. The ruins operate on a one way circuit that leads to the exit of the ruins and re-entry is not allowed with a Machu Picchu general entrance ticket.

What will I see on a Machu Picchu tour?

A tour of Machu Picchu includes stops at the Guardhouse, agricultural zone, main gate, fountains, tower, temple zone, Temple of the Three Windows, astronomical observatory, Sacred Rock, Group of Three Doorways, royal enclosures, Temple of the Condor and storage area. You will also have views of the west agricultural zone and main square while walking through the ruins.

Travel to Puerto Madryn, the essential guide

Here is a complete guide to travel to Puerto Madryn , one of the favorite destinations in Patagonia for Argentines and tourists. Its coastal promenade, its extensive beaches, whale watching and the Península Valdés , are very attractive for visitors.

Table of Contents

Orientation, travel to Puerto Madryn

Puerto Madryn is located in the northeast of the province of Chubut , and on the shores of the Golfo Nuevo. It stands out, above all, for its extensive beaches, its natural surroundings and the southern right whale watching from June to November.

Getting there and away

If you are a foreigner arriving the country through Buenos Aires, there are direct flights to Trelew from there. Airport is 65 km away from Puerto Madryn, through a new highway. There are also flights from Córdoba, Bahía Blanca, El Calafate or Ushuaia , although with much less frequency.

✈️ Check here for cheap flights to Puerto Madryn .

The journey between Trelew airport and Puerto Madryn can be done by rental car or express minivan that drops you off at your hotel in Puerto Madryn . Another option is to take a taxi from the airport to the Trelew Bus Terminal and from there a bus to Puerto Madryn.

🚘 Check here for transfers from Trelew airport to your hotel in downtown Puerto Madryn .

🚘 Check here for transfers from Puerto Madryn airport to your hotel in downtown .

If you choose to travel to Puerto Madryn by bus , you have a lot of connections with Buenos Aires and with the Andes area of Patagonia. Keep in mind that the distances are long (from Buenos Aires to Puerto Madryn there are more than 1,300 km) so it is a day trip. Puerto Madryn Bus Terminal is located in the center of the city, you can even walk to the hotel, or take a bus.

If you are going to rent a car to travel through Patagonia , Puerto Madryn is on route 3, which starts in Buenos Aires and crosses the entire Argentine Patagonia along the east coast to the city of Rio Gallegos (then continues until Ushuaia , where it ends).

Travel to Puerto Madryn, the guide

Best time to travel to Puerto Madryn

Puerto Madryn has a climate typical of the Patagonian plateau , with scarce rainfall throughout the year and very little vegetation. Being on the shores of the sea, it usually has a windy climate.

The summer is hot, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, perfect for enjoying the beach , strolling along the waterfront and outdoor sports. At night the temperature drops, but it is always pleasant and not cold.

The months of September to November are the ideal time for whale watching , as the weather in the afternoon is pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 20 degrees. The night is cold, but not below 0 degrees.

Winter is windy and cold, daylight is shorter. From April to June is the low season in Puerto Madryn , when you can not enjoy the beach and whales are not yet there.

tours to puerto madryn

Getting around Puerto Madryn

While the center of Puerto Madryn can be easily walked , as the distances are short, there are two options to move around the city: one is the taxis and remises and the other is to do it by public transport.

There are 6 lines of public buses that takes you around the city. The company that provides the service is Ceferino del Sur , although it does not reach the most popular tourist destinations on the outskirts of the city, such as El Doradillo beach or Península Valdés. You can see the route of each of the lines from here.

🚌 Check routes and schedules of the lines in the Puerto Madryn government website (in Spanish and with map).

If you want to visit Península Valdés by public transport , the only option is the company Mar y Valle , which leaves from the Trelew Bus Terminal, stops at the Puerto Madryn Bus Terminal, and arrives at Puerto Pirámides. However, depending on the day and time of year, the daily frequency of service varies from one to four per day.

Puerto Madryn

The gateway to Península Valdés, Puerto Madryn is Patagonia's star destination for marine wildlife watching. With a beachfront location, it's also a pleasant place in itself. While the city bustles with tourism and industry, it retains a few small-town touches: the radio announces lost dogs, and locals are welcoming and unhurried. With summer temperatures matching those of Buenos Aires, Madryn holds its own as a modest beach destination, but from June to mid-December visiting right whales take center stage.
