Mountain Biking and Sea Lion Watching in Puerto Madryn
Description
It is an exclusive experience pedaling in rarely visited spaces and with the best views over the Golfo Nuevo and with an unparalleled geography. After pedaling along very attractive trails, we arrived by bike to the viewpoint of the Sea Lion Colony. It is a dynamic, fun and low-demand proposal enjoying a route of only 10 kilometers. We began our experience in a typical Patagonian ranch, in a pure steppe environment, we crossed this geography by bike and ended up seeing sea lions in the Punta Loma Protected Area.

This was so much fun! Our guides and drivers were so accommodating to the different biking experience levels of the group and taught us a lot about the area!
Super guided and about 75% down grade ride. Beautiful scenes! Trails we well kept and starting at ranch was cool to see various animals !
Excursion was great. We ended up being picked up at the ship pier on time and drove to a farm with a bikes are kept and also have rescue animals. From there we biked through the countryside brush leading us to the ocean with great views. The last was the best with the stop at seal reserve. It was amazing watching the seals live and play
This was one of the best excursions we’ve ever done—and we’ve done A LOT. Our guides were lovely people and very professional. The Patagonian scenery was stunning, and we hardly saw another person the entire ride. We’re two senior women in pretty decent shape (but not elite athletes in any way) who found the ride a little challenging in a good way, but our guides were very patient and supportive. They ended our ride with delicious snacks and drinks on a beautiful beach with no other humans in either direction. We highly recommend this excursion. Go make some memories!
I had a wonderful day biking with a group of 8. We met at the pier and drove 20 minutes to a ranch where we were set up with bikes. The ride was a nice sandy route out to and along the coast Beautiful! The guides were amazing. Highly recommend!
Had a great guide, (Lisandro) and Driver (Pehuen) who met us at the Cruise Pier and provided a very informative history of the local area as we drove out to the location. A quick safety and operational briefing and we were off enjoying a ride through the Patagonia countryside, then a stop at the Reserva Loberia de Punta Loma to watch the seals along the coast. Following this, we had a stop for refreshments along the beach. During our entire tour, Lisandro displayed a remarkable knowledge of local flora and fauna and pointed out a number of fossils in the various stratas we passed. As an FYI - the bikes themselves were well maintained and the course we followed could be handled by newcomers to mountain biking. All in all, a worthwhile experience and I would recommend you consider if you are visiting Puerto Madryn or the surrounding area.
We chose the mountain bike ride: sea lions. After some advice on the use of mountain biking, walking the Patagonian paths was easy. We saw sea lions, caressing alpacas, and the maras would run past us to guide us. Guides Diego and Juan Carlos speak very good French, which made the explanations about animals very interesting. The little snack with or without mate is very nice. We were at the end of the world.
