    2. Florentino Ameghino Dam

      Las Chapas is the next destination, you will enjoy an amazing colorful landscape: transparent rivers, green willows, among other things. The rocky walls boast an incredible reddish tone and the Chubut River runs between their huge heights for several kilometers. That is the reason why this site was chosen to construct the dam and give shape to an artificial lake that covers 7,000 hectares. It was named Florentino Ameghino to honor the famous naturalist and discoverer. The reservoir is 255 meters long and was designed by the engineer Antonio Pronsato back in 1943. It was not inaugurated until 1963. The trails around the area are usually crossed by the most autochthonous wildlife seen in Patagonia today: guanacos with their offspring, choiques and Patagonian hares.

    Full Day Tour to Florentino Ameghino Dam from Puerto Madryn: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Madryn.

    How much does Full Day Tour to Florentino Ameghino Dam from Puerto Madryn cost?

    +

    Prices start at $198 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Madryn usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full Day Tour to Florentino Ameghino Dam from Puerto Madryn take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Madryn is not rushed.

    Is Full Day Tour to Florentino Ameghino Dam from Puerto Madryn worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Madryn, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour to Florentino Ameghino Dam from Puerto Madryn?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full Day Tour to Florentino Ameghino Dam from Puerto Madryn suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour to Florentino Ameghino Dam from Puerto Madryn?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Madryn can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Madryn and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Tour to Florentino Ameghino Dam from Puerto Madryn start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Madryn within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Puerto Madryn?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puerto Madryn experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best of Peninsula Valdés in one day, Shore Tours Punta Tombo Cruise Ship Passengers Puerto Madryn, Full Day Peninsula Valdes Experience - optional Whale Watching. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puerto Madryn?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puerto Madryn?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full Day Tour to Florentino Ameghino Dam from Puerto Madryn?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Professional guide; Round-trip shared transfer; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full Day Tour to Florentino Ameghino Dam from Puerto Madryn include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 23 listed pickup locations in and around Puerto Madryn. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
