Puerto Madryn, Argentina
Once home to Welsh settlers, Puerto Madryn is known today for its animal life, which Argentina protects in its scenic, remote wildlife preserves. Puerto Madryn is the gateway to many natural splendors, such as Punta Tombo National Reserve, as well as Argentine Patagonia - a small city that caters as a base for exploring the region's remote wildlife preserves and paleontological sites.
