Peninsula Valdes, Argentina Península Valdés is home to the endangered southern right whale as well as orcas, elephant seals and southern sea lions. Unfortunately it was the wrong time of year to see Orcas but we came at the perfect time to see southern right whales! At one point we saw roughly 20 whales displaying and bashing their tails on top of the water to attract females. A local we spoke to said if you’re lucky you can see up to 80 whales all at once! On the way to Peninsula Valdes we also drove past a replica of world’s largest dinosaur which was found in northwest Argentina (discussed in a previous post). It was about 40 metres long and 20 metres tall and weighed 77 tonnes! It absolutely dwarfed ours and our friend’s Delicas! -- source link
