PATAGONIA WILDLIFE: Spotting Penguins + Sea Lions on Valdes Peninsula | Chubut, Argentina
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2019
- Peninsula Valdes was our first introduction to Patagonia and what a way to begin! Prior to visiting Patagonia, we envisioned landscapes dominated by snow-capped mountains, verdant forests and glacial lakes, and while that may be true if you travel along the Andes, there is so much more to Patagonia than that! Peninsula Valdes introduced us to the diversity that can be found within Patagonia by showing us the complete opposite of what I expected; I’m talking about arid steppes, salt lakes and pebbly shores dotted with all sorts of marine wildlife! Who knew? In this video, we spot elephant seals and sea lions basking in the sunshine along the beach, we visit the biggest Magellanic penguin colony in the world, and we have lunch at Estancia San Lorenzo where we sample Patagonian lamb. We hope you'll join us for this tour around Peninsula Valdes with Argentina Vision (www.argentinavision.com)!

PATAGONIA WILDLIFE - Spotting Penguins and Sea Lions in Peninsula Valdes | Chubut, Argentina:
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a travel vlogging couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
We had the privilege of traveling around Argentina for nearly 3 months from January- April 2019 on a trip covering a large section of the country.
We kicked things off with several days in Buenos Aires where we were joined by Audrey's parents eating and sightseeing around some of our favourite neighbourhoods in the city. We then flew from Buenos Aires to Cordoba where we spent a couple of weeks in the Sierras of Cordoba visiting both La Cumbrecita and Villa General Belgrano with highlights including hiking and delicious German and Swiss cuisine.
From Cordoba, we then travelled a considerable distance on an overnight bus to Mar Del Plata just in time for a special food festival called Feria Masticar featuring the best of Argentine food and wine. We spent several days enjoying beaches and seafood before heading south to Patagonia to visit the province of Chubut.
While on the Atlantic side of Chubut we visited Puerto Madryn, Peninsula Valdes, Trelew, Gaiman and Dolavon. To summarize our time in this area, we had incredibly close encounters with wildlife including penguins, sea lions and guanacos while also experiencing Welsh culture in Argentina.
Our time in Patagonia continued as we headed from east to west trading more barren landscapes for thick forests, impressive mountains and magnificent lakes. We spent significant time in both Esquel and El Bolson with day trips to visit Trevelin, Parque Nacional Los Alerces, Cholila and Lago Puelo. Highlights included sailing, hiking, riding vintage trains and partaking in the national asado festival.
We finished visiting Patagonia with time spent in Villa La Angostura, San Martin De Los Andes and Bariloche where we enjoyed more stunning scenery and hiking. On our way back to Buenos Aires, we took the Tren Patagonia to Las Grutas before meeting up with Audrey's dad again.
To finish off our trip in Argentina, we spent more time in the capital and later Mendoza where we got to experience wine tourism to its fullest extent. Overall, we had an amazing time travelling around Argentina having only scratched the surface of this vast and diverse country.
Overall our Argentina travel series explores cities, small towns that are off-the-beaten-path, and scenic attractions with a strong emphasis on Argentina cuisine and local culture.

No other animal can top penguins on the cuteness quotient, except maybe a koala.

Me encanta tu canal . Y de paso practico inglés🤭que lindo país que tenemos!! Besos from Cba.
Gracias Silvina!
i had a SAM and Audrey day and I seen the Q & A and was wondering how long it took you both to get used to traveling together and how do you decide who does editing and why and thought it was interesting you both find small town life what you are looking forward to living in when you
" grow up " you two continue to grow in the way you video and love each other and your families that have grown with your marriage
Thank you very much! Great questions. I do the first cut and Audrey does the final edit. We're preferring more and more smaller towns so that will likely be a consideration in terms of where we settle.
Amazing editing
Thank you very much!
Yum - empanadas
Thanks Pat!
Like y vamooos 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Gracias Angel!
Sam, it looked like you needed a nap after filming the video and Audrey looking beautiful as ever.
Thanks Lisa! LOL, Audrey had a better day.
We went to Peninsula Valdes last year but didn't see nearly as much as you two. Wish we had seen your video first. Will you be going anywhere near Bariloche?
Gotta say, I wouldn't have thought penguins and 36 degree heat were two things that ever went together in nature.
I hear you! A few days later the temperature dropped dramatically.
They only enter the waters of the cold Patagonian sea and do not suffer heat. It is also cooler on the beach.
Penguins, nuff said!
We felt the same way! Totally made the day.
Growing up in California I saw a sea lions quite often oh, but I am very surprised to see penguins in Argentina. I'm not sure why, but I always thought of them as an Arctic animal.
Interesting to hear Lisa! I didn't know either until recent years.
If you're still in Patagonia how about a meet up with fellow You Tuber & traveller Itchy Boots last posted vlog just north of Puerto Madryn?
Thanks for the suggestion Alun!
No entiendo ni papa, pero igual veo los vídeos en ingles
hablan muuy claro el inglés. si aprendes lo básico lo entendés
Tienen un canal donde suben los mismos videos pero hablados en español!
Muchas gracias! Realmente apreciamos el apoyo tanto para nuestros canales en español como en inglés.
What signs are you two?
:-)
Thanks Charles!
They should make penguin empanadas.
Bahahaha - had the same thought - they hate my comments - but great to see the camera is focusing less on their mouths when they are eating in preference to what they are eating - as they both have the disgusting habit of speaking when they eat - I slap people for doing that - even those that have disabilities - Bahahahaha
I saw horses there I hope they don't eat those too.
Horses are not consumed in Argentina.
This is Argentina, not Japan! Lol
