About this experience
We will visit the largest colony of the Magellanic penguin in all of South America. From September through April, Punta Tombo hosts approximately one million penguins that arrive to complete their breeding cycle and the molting (change feathers).
Other specimens of guanacos, Patagonian hares, and other terrestrial fauna complete the scene; In addition, they will have a privileged view of the Atlantic Ocean coast.
As long as the time allows, upon returning from the reserve we will give you a city tour of Puerto Madryn before dropping you off at the dock exit.
