Patagonia Penguin Watching

Visit South America's largest colony of Patagonian penguins in Punta Tombo, the migration site chosen by the birds for mating, laying eggs and raising their young.

Patagonia Penguin Watching

After picking you up from your hotel in Puerto Madryn, we will go directly to Punta Tombo, the premier location to observe penguins in South America, allowing you to walk among them. At the visitor center, you will learn about the Patagonian Penguins and their ecosystem.

In addition to the penguins, this area of Argentina is home to diverse wildlife, including guancanos, Patagonian mara, rheas, and foxes. After some free time for lunch, we will proceed to the coast of Isla Escondida, known for its population of elephant seals, the largest seal species, with adults measuring up to 5 meters and weighing 4 tonnes.

After experiencing the region's biodiversity, we will return to your hotel in Puerto Madryn.

Important information

Penguins migrate to Punta Tombo to mate and lay their eggs between September and February. However, animal sightings are unpredictable and not guaranteed throughout the season.
