Hola!! My Name is Carina and I 've been working as a tour guide for the past 25 years, wow a lot right? I moved to live with my parents at Puerto Madryn city when I was only 8 years old, and from the first moment I set foot in this city I can honestly say that I fell in love with it and that it's a feeling that still lasts until these days, so for me was natural to became a Tour Guide, reason why as soon I finished high school went straight to the University in order to get my Credential, and that passion that moved me 26 years ago to do that is the same one that made me change from being just a guide on a bus to be a guide - driver on her own car. The reason is simple my aim is that each one of my passengers can enjoy, discover and fall in love of this little corner of Patagonia as I did at my 8 years old. So what you'll experience with me is a unique moment between you and the amazing wildlife and pristine landscape that surrounds Puerto Madryn, and the advantage you have by being alone with me is that the excursion is tailor-made to your wishes and of course to those unexpected moments the roads and nature prepare for us. I love guiding tourist with all kind of interest either history or nature. So don't hesitate to contact me and ask all you want to know about what to see, and when, and then get ready to live a great experience and also to be surprised. If you need more information about me or the tours, please contact me, all your questions will be responded as soon as possible. See you in that little corner around the world. -LicensedTour Guide, issued by the Province of Chubut, License Number S-23 -PROFESSIONAL DRIVING LICENSE -Course of Birdwatching -Certified WFR (Wilderness First Responder) - I have completed COVID's vaccination program (4 doses) -I work for a licensed local tour operator EVyT 12828 (a code that means the company is authorized) My car can fit up to 4 people comfortably.

Overview of your Puerto Madryn tour

I invite you to spend a day surrounded by the cutest little guys on a tuxedo, the Magellan Penguins. What can I say about these little amazing guys, my first tour that I've ever guided was to Punta Tombo, and being walking among them, being able to see them around me like if they have known me since ever, absolutely confident of me, I fell in love for them and that love still lasts until today. Every year they arrive in mid-September when their reproductive cycle starts, the first ones to arrive will be the males followed by the females a few weeks later, but I won't tell you more about it, because you'll have to discover by yourself how the story goes. Together will discover beyond the expected, after over 30 years as a tour guide you will discover next to me things than another way you wouldn't be able to know about it. Note: - If you are a bigger group don't hesitate to ask me as I can arrange for bigger transportation - I have completed Covid vaccination program

Carina was an excellent tour guide! She was punctual, pleasant and had very good English. The tour to Peninsula Valdes was extraordinary! We stopped several times along the way for Guanacos, sheep, birds, etc. to cross the road capturing great photos of the wildlife. She promised us penguins all to ourselves and we were not disappointed. The Megellanic penguins were magical - so many to see and so close to us!! After spending much time with the penguins we proceeded to Punta Norte to visit the sea lions and elephant seals. There were so many on the beach and the paths with overhangs were great for taking photos! Carina prepared us a boxed lunch which was excellent! The drive there and back was long, but well worth it! Thank you Carina for making our tour with you a great memory that we will cherish for a lifetime!

What an unforgettable experience we had with Carina and the driver going to see the penquins. The drive there was filled with wonderful conversation about the area, the wildlife and the culture of the area. After enjoying the beauty of the ocean and life of the penquins we had a delicious hand prepared lunch before heading back to Puerto Madryn. On the way back we had a delightful unplanned visit to the oldest Welch Church in Chile and then were treated to a drive along the coastline of Puerto Madryn.

Carina is a warm and welcoming person. We had a lovely day with her as our guide when she took us to the Punta Tombo Rookery for an amazing day with the penguins. She managed our time beautifully and she arranged a delicious boxed lunch for us as well. Our day was special...thanks to Carina!

Carina delivered exactly what she promised. She was at the exact spot we expected and then a comfortable car ride to Punta Tomba ( 1/2 hours from Puerto Madryn). She helped us explore the penguin preserve by guiding our route and explaining the Magellanic penguins, llamas and birds that make this area home. She was very important for helping one family member in a wheelchair get the full experience. Carina provided a substantial and tasty box lunch for the return trip. A great day, thanks to Carina!

Carina is an excellent nature guide, she knows where to look for and find a stunning array of wildlife. Pick-up was on time in a modern, clean 4x4. Today we explored the Chubut River valley, home to waterfowl and marine birds. Carina even arranged for a dolphin tour to view the endemic Commerson's Dolphin, stunning! I was impressed by her knowledge of the natural world. As a solo traveler, I felt quite at home in the raw beauty of the slice of Argentina that Carina shared with me.
