Introduction

Ecocentro sits on a low cliff at the edge of Puerto Madryn, an exhibition and education centre devoted to the marine ecology of Patagonia. Its displays follow local species — southern right whales, sea lions, dolphins and penguins — through skeletons, jellyfish and plankton exhibits and intertidal habitats. A viewing window and terrace at the end of the building face Golfo Nuevo, with seabirds and open water beyond. It works especially well as an introduction before a whale-watching trip or a day on Peninsula Valdes.
