Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Puerto Madryn
Puerto Madryn is the base for one of the best wildlife rides in South America, and the town sits on the Golfo Nuevo, a wide blue bay on the Atlantic coast of Chubut, a flat, windy, treeless stretch of Patagonia. About sixty-five thousand people live here, enough to guarantee fuel, supermarkets, mechanics and decent restaurants. It is also the starting point for the Peninsula Valdes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with roads leading to colonies of sea lions, elephant seals, penguins and, in season, whales.

Planning note
Puerto Madryn sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Puerto Piramides.
2. Puerto Pirámides
Puerto Pirámides is a village of a few hundred people on the shore of the Golfo Nuevo, on the Valdés Peninsula in Patagonia, and it is the best place on the continent to meet a whale. From roughly June to December, southern right whales come into the sheltered bay to mate and give birth, and tour boats set out from the beach to watch them. The peninsula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the richest wildlife areas in Argentina, and the village is its small and very friendly gateway. The name comes from the pyramid-shaped cliffs near the shore.
