Puerto Madryn is a very pleasant town which has the added advantage of being a good base for going to see the penguins at Punta Tombo or the whales on the Valdés Peninsula.
My suggestion
The ideal times to go are from September to November to see the whales or until March to see the penguins.

Puerto Madryn, the place from which to visit the Valdès Peninsula, is on the Atlantic sea coast, in the north of Argentine Patagonia.
My suggestion
You should visi Puerto Madryn between September and November as that's the best time to see the Southern Right whales and the orca. An absolute must see for nature lovers travelling in Argentina.

Puerto Madryn, the entry point to the famous Valdés Peninsula, is a village in the north of Patagonia on the Atlantic coast of Argentina.
My suggestion
Lots of Argentine tourists go to Puerto Madryn during Janaury and February, the southern summer. So avoid this period.
