Orcas and Peninsula Valdes

little BIG adventure is a blog that has some quality information. It’s written by a couple traveling through South America and I’m going to be checking in on this one often.

Their posting Orcas and Welsh Tea is, you guessed it, about their trip to Peninsula Valdes and the nearby Welsh towns. Before having tea they describe their Orca sightings, something that a lot of visitors to Peninsula Valdes miss:

A number of Orcas were swimming just off the beach as the sea lions basked in the sun and the pups played in the surf. As high tide approached, the Orcas repeatedly swam right up to the beach and launched themselves out of the water onto the beach in an attempt to catch one of the sea lion pups, whilst the sea lions sat there seemingly oblivious. The Orcas were huge and it was quite an exhibition.
