About This Tour
The Punta Tombo tour is a unique opportunity to walk among thousands of Magellanic penguins in their natural habitat. This reserve offers an up-close experience with these fascinating birds as they nest, care for their chicks, and waddle freely around you. The journey begins with a 2.5-hour drive from Puerto Madryn to the Punta Tombo Nature Reserve, crossing the vast Patagonian steppe. Upon arrival, you will walk along a 1.5 km trail (3 km round trip), following designated paths that take you through the heart of the penguin colony.
