An active, responsible and marvellous journey...

Doradillo Velas is a non profitable association whose objective is to create a bridge between sustenance in tourism and scientific investigation. We have developed a cooperation scheme with an Argentine centre of investigation and travellers who would like to discover Patagonia differently.

The volunteers will experience real scientific expeditions, as in Darwin or Bougainville times. By going on board, you would participate and support the investigation and conservation of Patagonian biodiversity. 

Because we are sailors and working towards the preservation of nature, all our trips are made through sailing.

In the southern summer programme 2007-2008 there is an investigation campaign on cetacean life in Patagonia : dolphins, killer whales amongst others.

The objectives of the association

petrel-gigante-baby454.jpg

 


Doradillo Velas is a non-profitable association, based in Puerto Madryn, Patagonia, Argentina. 

Our objectives  are : 
 
- To support scientific investigation
We accompany the local authorities in the investigation of marine biology in Patagonia through logistic means, human resources and statistical analysis.
 
- To participate in the conservation of the marine ecosystem:
We gather and process data for the management of the Patagonian coast
 
- We are promoting naturalist and scientific tourism:
Being involved in local conservational projects, we aim to keep tourism to an appropriate number, to reduce its impact on the biodiversity. The missions are open to everyone. The volunteers do not need previous experience either in biology, or in sailing; they would integrate with a team of experienced scientists and sailors.
 
- Proposal for a useful and responsible way of sailing
We have developed cooperation with yacht owners, locals and travellers, for them to participate in the scientific expeditions.

“Doradillo Velas” refers to Doradillo, a nature reservation approximately 15 kilometres to the north of Puerto Madryn. The association is established near this.   From inside the reserve “Doradillo”, between June and December, right whales can be seen jumping metres from the shore.
