   Vorbeifahrt

2. Our first stop is the replica of the Patagotitan Mayorum, the largest dinosaur in the world found so far. We will find out all about the past, when dinosaurs reigned in the region. We will take advantage of the stop to take some photographs and then we resume route south.

   15 Min.

3. We will continue en route to the beach resort Playa Union, where we will have free time to tour the coast and take photographs, or to embark on the 1.5 hour sailing "Sighting of Toninas Overas" (optional, NOT included in the final price). The boat ride runs through the mouth of the Chubut River to the open sea, passing near a colony of sea lions, to go in search of the smallest and most acrobatic groups of dolphins of all, the Overas Toninas.

   1,5 Std.

4. On our way to Punta Tombo, we will deviate a few kilometers from the path to visit Isla Escondida Beach, where the imposing and magnificent Elephants Sea are seen, just 15 meters from the coast. After enjoying the free time to observe them with great respect and learn from them, we will continue journey to the Penguin colony. On the way along the ripio trails, the safari continues on land: watch for guanacos crossing the Patagonian landscape.

   30 Min.

5. Punta Tombo is one of the most scenic reserves in Chubut province, combining the blue sea and the volcanic red rocks of the Jurassic. There, we will immerse ourselves in the world of the Magellanic Penguins through a trail of 3 kilometers (in total) to observe and walk among them. If nature permits and if we are attentive to the landscape, we can observe wonderful species of Patagonia, such as Guanacos, Choiques, Maras, Martinetas, among others. Once the trail is over, you will have free time for lunch at "DeliStore" or for a picnic if you have your own food/snacks. After a day full of pure nature, we will return to Puerto Madryn to leave you in your accommodation.

   2 Std.

About Puerto Madryn

Puerto Madryn is a Patagonian port on a wide, sheltered gulf, and the starting point for whale watching and for penguin and sea lion colonies.

Puerto Madryn faces the calm Golfo Nuevo on the Atlantic coast of Chubut province, a seaside town of broad beaches and a long waterfront promenade. Welsh settlers landed on this shore in 1865, and the valley towns of Gaiman and Trelew to the south still keep that heritage. The town itself is small and relaxed, with diving, sailing and sea views drawing most people outdoors.
