The adventure starts in the morning with a convenient pick up from your hotel in Puerto Madryn.
Throughout the entire tour, a professional guide will accompany us, sharing valuable information and insights so we can enjoy a day observing native wildlife up close while ensuring the protection of their natural habitat. This allows us to experience close encounters with native animals in a responsible way.
We will travel south towards Isla Escondida, home to a colony of elephant seals—the largest seal species in the world. From September onwards, females arrive at this site to give birth, which means we may witness births or see newborn pups, making this a truly unforgettable experience.
Afterwards, our journey continues to the Punta Tombo reserve, where we will have the chance to observe the incredible Magellanic penguins in their natural environment. These charming birds return to the reserve each year to complete their breeding season.
Next, we will visit the Interpretation Center, where we will receive detailed information and enjoy displays that illustrate the seabed and the region’s terrestrial wildlife.
Once our visit to the reserve concludes, we will start the return trip to your hotel in Puerto Madryn.
