About this tour

From your centrally located hotel in Puerto Madryn we will leave early in the morning towards the Patagonian coast to begin this adventure.

We will drive for two and a half hours to reach the Punta Tombo area, and when we enter the natural area we will first go to the Bahia Vera private ranch, a place known for being a refuge for wild marine life.

There we will be able to see sea lions up close, in a pristine natural environment, where there is very little human intervention, which makes it unique. You will be able to photograph them and get close to them, always respecting the distances and recommendations of your guide.

Then, we will continue this experience by heading to Punta Tombo, a protected natural area where one of the most important breeding colonies of Magellanic penguins in the world is located. At this time the guide will give us instructions on how to treat the penguins so as not to interfere with their natural habitat, and the precautions that must be taken both with photos and with the walking trails, and then he will give us free time where we will be able to walk along marked trails to be able to see these Patagonian birds up close and how they live.

After the walk with the penguins, we will have lunch at Punta Tombo and once finished we will begin the return to the central accommodations in Puerto Madryn.
