Why choose drone photo & video in Puerto Madryn?
From the air, the coast around Puerto Madryn is a story of contrasts: turquoise gulf water, pale cliffs and the brown Patagonian steppe running to the horizon. A drone session shows the scale of it, and it also has to respect the animals that bring people here. An hour of flying, planned around where flying is allowed, becomes 25 edited stills and a one-minute edited film, sent within a week.

FAQ — Drone photo & video in Puerto Madryn
Can we film whales with a drone in Puerto Madryn?
Not at El Doradillo, the whale beach north of Puerto Madryn, where drones are banned under Disposición 070/15. Whales are filmed from the shore or from licensed boats, and the drone session flies over open coast outside the protected areas instead.
Can a drone fly over the Puerto Madryn waterfront?
Not over the crowds. ANAC's open category bans flying over people who are not taking part or have not consented, and never over a crowd, which rules out the busy waterfront of Puerto Madryn in season. Sessions launch over open coast or estancia land, within the pilot's sight and below about 122 m above the ground.
