Valdes Peninsula Orca Photography Special – Small Group 9 Days
This unique and exciting itinerary takes you to the Valdes Peninsula during the heart of the Orca season in Punta Norte. Opportunities to stay within the Punta Norte region are very rare and this unique trip gives you exclusive access to get up close to these rarely spotted majestic members of the dolphin family and enjoy unsurpassed photographic opportunities. April is one of the best months to see Orca due to it being pupping season for the Southern Sea Lions, the Orca's typical hunting targets.

Sandwiched between 2 nights in Buenos Aires this excellent itinerary is perfect for photographers of all skill levels, from expert to novice, and is a wildlife viewing opportunity not to be missed.
