We’ve been to Alps and Rockies already, so not sure how similar Bariloche is. At the same time I’ve read that there are penguins in March in Peninsula Valdes, sounds exotic to us. What would you suggest? What are must sees in Bariloche and what must sees in Peninsula Valdes? What are the pluses and minuses?
Thanks!

Not been to Bariloche, but the whale watching in Peninsular Valdes is superb, you get up really close to them. I'd stay in Puerto Madryn unless you want a 'wilderness experience'.
Also, Madryn was the landing point for Welsh settlers in the 1860's and they still speak Welsh and Spanish in the area. The village of Gaiman is a nice trip and this is where you're most likely to hear the language spoken. They also have a number of teahouses, which do fantastic teas.
