El Doradillo

El Doradillo offers an incredible opportunity to witness southern right whales up close in their natural habitat. Located just a short distance from Puerto Madryn, El Doradillo offers one of the best shore-based whale-watching experiences in the world (From June To October). The shallow waters and calm bay make it the perfect spot for these majestic creatures to come close to the shore, giving you a front-row seat to watch them breach, tail slap, and interact. Beyond whale watching, the stunning natural landscapes and peaceful atmosphere make El Doradillo a must-see destination for nature lovers and those looking for an unforgettable wildlife encounter.

The calm waters of this beach attract whales, which choose to rest near the coast. This phenomenon allows our visitors to witness the impressive spectacle of the whales at a surprisingly close distance from the shore, providing a truly exceptional land-based viewing experience. Participants have the opportunity to admire the majesty of these magnificent marine mammals in their natural habitat without the need to venture into the sea.

The area of El Doradillo is visited every season by a group of mother whales with calves. Due to the calm of its waters and the unusual depth of the coast (due to its steep slope), the whales come very close to the beach. The latter makes coastal sighting possible, with a high probability of finding these animals only 15 or 20 meters from the coast. The output is scheduled for 11 am and for 4 pm. The morning departure includes a picnic lunch on the beach with chicken sandwich, handmade alfajor and all kinds of drinks, and a very complete afternoon snack with coffee, tea, hot chocolate and delicacies.
