Península Valdés — wildlife full-day tour — photo 1

Private full-day land tour of Península Valdés from Puerto Madryn, with guide included, with hotel pick-up at the start and drop-off at the end. The route enters through Istmo Carlos Ameghino with a stop at the reserve interpretation centre, then continues to Puerto Pirámides, Caleta Valdés, Punta Cantor and Punta Norte, with seasonal coastal wildlife viewing: elephant seals, sea lions, guanacos, maras and birdlife; southern right whales are sighted from shore between June and December, and Magellanic penguins between September and March. Transport is by vehicle with driver and the provincial reserve admission is paid separately at the control gate. The day covers long gravel-road sections within the peninsula, with operational stops at the designated viewpoints.

Booking & policies

Are the prices shown net or retail?

Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see an indicative retail “from” price; the net rate is never shown outside the agency portal.

How is a booking confirmed?

Most bookings are confirmed immediately and the voucher is emailed within minutes. When a service shows “In process”, RUMBO LIBRE is confirming final availability with the receptive operator at destination — usually within 24 to 48 business hours.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations follow Clause 7 of the Terms: more than 30 days before the service, no penalty and a full refund; 15 to 30 days, 25%; 8 to 14 days, 50%; 3 to 7 days, 75%; less than 72 hours before commencement or a no-show, 100%. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. The schedule above is indicative: the conditions that apply to each booking are those confirmed in the quotation, and may be stricter in high season, on public holidays or where a supplier applies its own policy.

Can dates or passenger names be changed after confirmation?

Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed with the receptive operator subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
