Yes, I have finally left Buenos Aires. I arrived in Puerto Madryn via an 18-hour bus ride. It is much warmer than I expected, and the water is beautiful.
Although I was sad about leaving behind my friends in Buenos Aires, it is refreshing to be in a very small town and see stars at night again.
This is the view I enjoy every morning.
18 hours is a long time to be in a bus. Was it at least one of those luxury buses with the reclining seats that I have read about in Argentina or was it just you’re average rickety bus? What did you do for the whole 18 hours. I figure you didn’t sleep much. I never do when I’m traveling.
Puerto Madryn looks beautiful if you’re photo is anything to go by. Is it a resort town by the water or just your typical Argentine town or is it too early to tell just yet?
It was “cama” but not “cama suite.” So it reclined quite a bit, but it did not fold down completely to 180 degrees. I had one of those a couple years ago when I went to Mendoza.
I slept pretty well actually.
Puerto Madryn is not so “resorty” but definitely a tourist town. It’s just not too built up to be obnoxious… and hopefully it stays that way

The best experience in the whole world for me is when you see such beautiful places like that one. A place worth remembering.

I do sort of feel like I’m living the dream, especially when I know most of my friends and family are getting cold weather.

Living the dream! 😉

I didn’t care for in Puerto Madryn or the peninsula. The highlight for me was Punto Tumbo (how can you go wrong with 40K penguins?). And Gaiman was fun and kitchsy.

There are over a million penguins at Punto Tombo now!

No, they weren’t by the beach. Had to do a boat tour, but definitely worth it!

Having lived in Puerto Madryn from 1984 to 1998 I’m happy that you enjoyed your stay there and had a really good time. The city now has got too big for my taste, when I lived there it was such a nice place; but the surroundings and landscapes are truly awesome. Cheers!
The word got out about how awesome the surrounding areas are, so the developers came running. Good for tourism, but I imagine it was a lovely town to live in before it got too big.

Any picture that shows the peace and serenity of the water makes my heart melt. Thank you for posting!
