Argentina Valdés Peninsula Guanacos
The actual "owners" of the peninsula are guanacos, which can be met everywhere in large numbers.
Valdés is deserted. There are a few estancias, of which little can be seen. Apart from the coasts, practically everything is hot, barren bush steppe, a little grass steppe and salt lakes. These are not accessible, they are off the roads.

Travel Information
The entire Valdés Peninsula is a nature reserve. The only exceptions are the access road and the village of Puerto Pirámides. Up to here, the road is asphalted, the other routes are gravel roads. At the entrance to the peninsula, there is a checkpoint where the entrance fee must be paid. Foreigners pay several times what Argentines pay. The visitor centre (Centro de Visitantes) is 22 km further on. Of the few road connections, major stretches may not be usable or even closed.
Free overnight stays are not allowed on the whole peninsula, so the only place left is the local campsite at Puerto Pirámides.
