Itinerary and highlights

We leave from Puerto Madryn towards Punta Tombo. The penguin colony is open throughout the season from September to April, months where thousands arrive.

There thousands of penguins in their natural habitat move slowly, sometimes hundreds of meters, from their nests to the sea, to feed and then return; and in summer we will be able to see their newborn chicks.

During the journey we will probably see herds of guanacos and groups of rheas, running through the Patagonian steppe, and maybe a fox or an armadillo.
