What makes Full-day excursion to Punta Tombo Natural Penguin Park a unique experience ?
This tour begins at 7:30 a.m., the time when we begin the search for each passenger for their accommodation in Puerto Madryn. Our first stop is at the full-scale replica of the Patagotitan Mayorum, the largest dinosaur in the world found in the area. At more than 8 meters tall and weighing an estimated 74 tons, it turned out to be the largest creature known to have ever walked on Earth. We will take advantage of the stop to take some photographs and then we will return to the south.
Depending on the time of high tide, we visit Playa Unión either early in the morning or in the afternoon, after visiting the Punta Tombo pine forest. Here we take a brief city tour to explore the city and enjoy the incredible landscape of this open sea resort. Those who wish can embark on the Toninas Overas Sighting navigation (additional - NOT included in the price of the excursion). For 1.35 hours you will enjoy a nautical ride embarking on the Chubut River, passing by a colony of small sea lions, while observing sea and coastal birds. A nature guide will help us interpret the ecosystem and accompany us in the search for this dolphin. Entering the open sea, we will have the chance to be amazed by the acrobatic, dynamic and fast Tonina Overa. In case of bad weather, or for those who want to tour the city, you can take a quiet walk along the waterfront and visit local museums.
From Puerto Madryn we have a distance of 180 km (2 hours of travel) on National Route N°3 towards the south towards the city of the penguins. On the way, we will have the opportunity to listen to the guide's stories about the secrets of the inhospitable Patagonia and all its fauna. We will observe guanacos and their chulengos (babies), sheep and various birds. On the trails we will be able to see choiques, maras, piches and martinetas. Arriving at Punta Tombo, our guide will remind you of the rules for visiting the reserve and the cost of the entrance. Approximately U$25.- First, we will make a 15-minute stop to use the restrooms and to visit the Interpretation Center. Then, we will return to the transport to go to the entrance of the trail, where our walk among penguins will begin. Along 1.5 km of the trail we will be captivated by this charismatic species. We will be able to observe their behaviour, their way of eating and their nests. We will travel a total of 3km (round trip).
We will spend part of our stay at the hotel for lunch. Those who prefer can bring their own lunch or enjoy quick meals at the Punta Tombo restaurant (additional - NOT included in the price of the excursion). After lunch, we will relax and return to Puerto Madryn, dropping off each passenger at their accommodation. Arrival time in the city is approximately 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
