• 5Unforgettable Experience at Punta Tombo & Isla Escondida!

  One of my dreams was to see penguins in their natural habitat and this tour made it come true! At Punta Tombo, I was surrounded by penguins living freely in their environment, it was absolutely magical. But the surprises didn’t end there. We also saw seals, guanacos, maras, hares, ostriches, and even a snake! The amount of wildlife was truly incredible. Our guide, Hugo, was amazing, super knowledgeable and passionate. He taught us so much about the animals, the landscape, and the rich history of the area. His explanations added a lot of depth to the experience. If you love nature and animals, this is a must-do! Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or as a family, it’s an unforgettable adventure. I went with my husband and we both agreed it was one of the highlights of our trip to Puerto Madryn.

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.
