For those arriving in Puerto Madryn via cruise, our tailored journey to Punta Tombo offers an ideal experience. This remarkable nature reserve is home to Argentina's largest population of penguins, showcasing some of the nation's most stunning vistas.
Punta Tombo Shore Excursion
Your adventure begins with a pickup from the Puerto Madryn port, followed by a scenic drive toward Punta Tombo (entrance fee excluded). After traveling approximately 100 miles, we will reach the expansive natural reserve renowned for hosting the country's most significant colony of penguins.
Upon arrival, we will embark on a delightful walk along the nature trail that meanders through the reserve. During this trek, you'll observe charming penguins as they roam the landscape and care for their young. Maintaining a quiet demeanor is essential to avoid disturbing those at rest!
We will pause at one of the finest viewpoints in the area, perfect for watching penguins gracefully dive in and out of the sea. As you explore Punta Tombo, you'll gain deeper insights into the life of these fascinating animals. In summer, the shores are bustling with over a million penguins.
In addition to penguins, you will also have the chance to see Guanacos, dwarf armadillos (Piche), and foxes, all indigenous to this unique region.
Following our exploration, we will visit a local inn, where you will have free time to enjoy lunch at your leisure (not included). After recharging, we will begin our return trip to Puerto Madryn, ensuring timely arrival at the port for your cruise departure.
