Ecocentro

The Ecocentro is a maritime museum in Puerto Madryn dedicated to the wildlife of the Patagonian coast. The building houses interactive exhibitions, multimedia displays, and aquariums that showcase the different ocean habitats and creatures found along the South Atlantic.

The museum opened in 2000 and was created to promote marine research and environmental education in the region. Since then, it has become an important institution for understanding Patagonian ocean ecosystems.

The museum integrates Welsh architectural elements into its design, connecting with the regional heritage while providing educational programs for local students.

The location is easily accessible and visitors can move through the exhibitions at a comfortable pace. Plan several hours to properly explore all the displays and aquariums without feeling rushed.

An impressive skeleton of a southern right whale greets visitors as they enter the building. The animal once washed ashore in waters near the museum and now serves as a striking centerpiece of the collection.
