Itinerary
Welcome to Puerto Madryn! We’ll be waiting for you at the meeting point in the Port of Puerto Madryn to start our tour to Punta Tombo.
Our adventure starts with a scenic two-hour drive to the Punta Tombo Peninsula in Argentina’s Chubut province. During the trip, our guide will share fascinating insights about the region’s flora and fauna, as well as the history of the Magellanic penguins. Upon arrival, we’ll find ourselves among hundreds of thousands of Magellanic penguins in an impressive natural setting. The two-mile-long and 600-meter-wide peninsula is covered with sand, clay, and gravel, creating the perfect habitat for these penguins. You’ll have the chance to walk among them, observe their behavior, and enjoy their presence in a completely natural and protected environment. After this unforgettable experience, we’ll return to Puerto Madryn, where your cruise ship will be waiting.

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.
