If you go to Puerto Madryn from January to May, you will find very little to see: Whales leave in December and penguins leave in March/April. However, it does have lovely beaches, that you can enjoy until Easter, more or less, but the main attraction of the area is wildlife. It is also the place where Welsh colonizers disembarked around 1885. It is a modern city with 80,000 inhabitants, many cruises stop here on their way to the Antarctic, and it is a pretty safe city. Hotels tend to charge more to foreigners. You might avoid this staying at one or two-star hotels. If you are looking for budget accommodation, I would recommend the hotel Tandil (2 stars) (hoteltandil@arnet.com.ar).
