Speachless in Puerto piramides....

What was not possible to do yesterday (the harbour was closed due to strong winds) is possible today. Inside the valdes peninsula, there is a little place called Puerto Piramides where you can see a lot of animals depending of the season you come. The whales (ballena Franca austral (baleines a bosses in french)) season is just finishing now so got lucky to see one mother with her child. They stay in the peninsula around 5 months per year and are resting there. The young get borned this year. He( or she) will stay one year with his "little" mummy. During the year it is possible to see in the same place seals, sea elephants, orcas, dolphins. This place is very famous to see orcas while they attack young seals directly on the beach. There was a famous one called Mel known to be a good hunter.
I have to say that whales are very curious and basically they are coming to see us closer. Therefore one can understand why it is just so easy to kill them. How do I say in japanese: "Please do not kill whales for "research" anymore" ?

Whales don´t throw water, it is just the result of when they breath if some water is staying above them. It makes a very powerfull and metallic sound. The marks they have on their head are unique so that is is possible to identify them.

In the background, the cliffs look like some pyramids. The name of the village comes from this.

Punta norte in the north of the peninsula where you can see some seals and sea elephants but they come later in the season
