Dive Patagonia from sea lion colonies and wrecks to kelp forests and submerged cypresses
Where you stay shapes the trip. Compare the setting, seasons and local transport before choosing your accommodation.
Cold-water wrecks, guided sea lion snorkeling and Patagonia's great shore whale season
Within town, use local taxis, arranged shuttles or a rental vehicle for park roads. City-based scuba and Punta Loma snorkel operators commonly arrange boats and may provide transfers; confirm which shore departure is used and which pickup is included.
Dive cold, clear Patagonian lakes, then explore Bariloche's forest and mountains.
Mi Bus runs city buses along Avenida Bustillo, including line 20 toward Llao Llao, and line 10 toward Colonia Suiza. The municipality also lists line 72 between the airport and city.
Patagonian wreck reefs, tide-pool wildlife and protected-bay coastlines.
Choose Las Grutas for an easy town and dive-provider base, San Antonio Oeste for town services and heritage, or San Antonio Este for port-side wildlife boats and beaches. Municipal tourism places them on the same regional road network, but boat boarding points are not interchangeable.
Cold-water reefs, sea lions and whale watching from a protected Patagonian village
Puerto Piramides is compact enough to explore around its village bay on foot, but Peninsula Valdes viewpoints require longer road excursions, often over gravel. A car or licensed guided excursion is the practical choice for Punta Norte and Caleta Valdes/Punta Cantor.
Drysuits, giant kelp and Patagonia wildlife at the edge of South America
Central Ushuaia is the base for dive operator meetings and tourist pier cruises. The current city transport page lists urban bus routes A, B, C and D.
A submerged cypress forest beneath a Patagonian mountain lake
A prearranged vehicle or confirmed transfer is the most predictable way to reach the village and local trailheads. RP65 includes sections affected by paving works and seasonal weather; request the current provincial road report before departure.
