Puerto Pirámides
 This
small village is located on the Peninsula de Valdés, 97 km.
from the city of Puerto Madryn,
on the small Bahía de Pirámides, in the Province of
Chubut. Approximately two hundred people live there.
It is surrounded by cliffs resembling pyramids and the waters
are crystal clear. Its surroundings are desertic, typical of the
Atlantic Patagonia.
At
the beginning of the 20th. century the town grew with
salt extraction. Much time later, tourism became its main economic
activity that shaped its present profile.
 From Puerto Pirámides, authorized boats leave for Whale
Watching, assembling thousands of visitors between the months
of May and November.
The
greatest affluence of these cetaceans occurs between September and
November.
Lodging and gastronomy services are available in the village.
A peaceful place for nature lovers.
