Full day tour & shore excursion to Punta Tombo by car
Overview of your Puerto Madryn tour
On this excursion we will visit and discover the largest reserve of Magellanic Penguins in South America. Walk among penguins, it's a unique experience in the world that few are lucky to live. During September to April, Punta Tombo is one of the best places to see Magellanic Penguins, and this reserve has a path of about 1, 5 kilometers that begins in the Patagonian steppe field until you reach the coast area where the penguins arrive from the sea to the continent to recondition its nests every year and fulfill its cycle of breeding and breeding of its pigeons. You can see the vastness of the colony, full of nests everywhere. Enjoy this funny tour and its great moments of joy with a local, with a different perspective, but always linked to tourism in the area for years. .

Donald H.United States
I knew that I had picked the right guide immediately when we met Alex. He had the same sense of urgency need to make our day at the penguins a huge success! Ask him about the time he had to beat all the busses down there! Alex is extremely personable and very easy to talk to. You cannot go wrong if you hire Alex! I promise that to you!

Alex was amazing. He arrived early for pick up and was waiting for me when I came down early. I had booked a transfer from Santiago to Valparaiso with a tour of along the way. We had to adjust the tour because of fires in Valparaiso which was no problem at all. Alex had a plan when he arrived and we had a wonderful tour + ship drop off. Cannot recommend Alex highly enough!
Jane M.United States
Alex gave us a wonderful tour to see the penguins. He took a different route than the cruise ship buses so we arrived before the crowds. He was very conscious of our time restraints, but built in time to see the museum, and even to stop to take pictures at the life size recreation of the world's largest dinosaur. He provided us with a box lunch and water also, so we didn't have to stop to eat lunch. We got back in plenty of time to meet the boat.

Your Puerto Madryn tour itinerary
* The tour begins leaving the city and taking the national route No. 3, which after passing the city of Trelew, we can find a detour that will help us to join the provincial route No. 1 and then reach the nature reserve. * It is a journey of 170 km to reach Punta Tombo from Puerto Madryn (about 2 hours), admiring the immense Patagonian aridity along the way. * Once at destination, an entrance fee must be paid, where we also find an interesting Interpretation Center, dedicated to the different stages of the Penguin life cycle and its natural environment. * At this point the most exciting part of the route begins, being able to walk among penguins, along a 1, 5-kilometer path that begins in the Patagonian steppe field until you reach the coast area. * Once the tour of the reservation is finished, we begin the return to the city (about 2 hours to get back to the city). The itinerary can be customized according to your preferences and interests.
