Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Peninsula Valdes charges a protected-area entrance fee under Chubut Resolution 40/2026, using different rates for foreign, Argentine and Chubut-resident visitors and some transport categories. The published foreign adult rate was ARS 50,000 in the reviewed 2026 schedule. The official rates page describes a per-day person ticket, while the linked online checkout describes two admissions within seven days; this is a live wording discrepancy and should be reconfirmed before relying on a re-entry benefit. Payment is electronic rather than cash at the entrance. Whale watching, scuba, snorkeling, transport and lodging are separately priced by their providers. No separate universal dive tag or municipal visitor tax was verified in the reviewed primary pages. Official park fees; official online ticket terms; park visitor recommendations.
