Ecocentro Puerto Madryn offers an experience to encourage visitors to relate to the sea in the widest sense of the word: the sea that gives life to the planet; the sea that supports the biodiversity of marine birds and mammals in Patagonia; the sea that bathes the coasts and creates the dynamic environment of the shoreline with its multiple forms of fish and invertebrate life; the sea as presence.

Exhibitions
All year round Ecocentro hosts permanent and temporary displays and exhibitions that can be enjoyed by persons of all ages.

Guides and activities
The public may visit all designated areas to see the displays, find information, appreciate works of art, or enter the world of education and science. There is no recommended itinerary, suggested sequences or times for the visit. Visitors are free to decide how to use their time and how to relate to the place and its people.
