Description

Meet the Magellanic penguins on an unforgettable excursion to Punta Tombo!

Starting from your hotel in Puerto Madryn, you'll take to the vast Patagonian roads to reach the protected area of Punta Tombo, located on one of the most famous and visited coasts of eastern Argentine Patagonia. After a drive of just over two hours through picturesque scenery, you'll arrive at this exceptional reserve, home to a huge colony of Magellanic penguins.

On site, you'll have around three hours to explore the penguin colony trails and visit the Punta Tombo interpretation center. You'll have the opportunity to observe these adorable birds in their natural habitat and learn more about their way of life. The site also offers comfortable facilities, including a restaurant, sanitary facilities and trails designed to interpret the Patagonian winds.

This excursion will give you a unique experience in the heart of Patagonia's wilderness and allow you to discover one of the most impressive penguin colonies in the world.
