Puerto Madryn is ideal for nature tourism in Argentine Patagonia.

Spring and early autumn offer milder weather and less wind. During peak season, it's advisable to book hotels, excursions, and boat trips in advance. Bring a jacket or sweater, even in summer: the Patagonian wind can make it feel quite cold.
