Hotels in Chubut, Argentina

Chubut, in Argentine Patagonia, is famous for its Peninsula Valdés-a UNESCO site where you can see southern right whales from June to December (temps hover 30-50°F or -1 to 10°C in winter). In summer (60-80°F or 15-27°C), you can visit Punta Tombo to walk among over a million Magellanic penguins or explore the Welsh-founded town of Gaiman for tea and scones. If you're into hiking, the Andes near Esquel offer trout fishing and Los Alerces National Park's ancient forests, while the coastal steppe around Trelew hosts dinosaur fossils and the Egidio Feruglio paleontology museum.
