Every year, more than 2,000 right whales, 600,000 Magellanic penguins and thousands of sea lions, dolphins and seabirds arrive on these Patagonian coasts as part of their migratory cycles. Inland, the steppe and the mountains shelter guanacos, pumas, foxes, birds, reptiles and rodents, which make the vast expanses of the plateaus a wonderful place. This natural spectacle of wild wildlife is one of the most important engines of the regional economy, and more than 4,000 families depend directly on this industry in Puerto Madryn.
