Next we will make a trip of approximately 2 hours until we reach Punta Tombo. First we will find the Interpretation Center, where we will find an exhibition divided into several rooms, as an introduction to the friendly Magellanic penguins, characteristic for their small size, black back and white breast; as well as other species of penguins in the world. The toilets and a stop for lunch are located right there. Next we will proceed to walk the trails that cross the area and reach the coast, along which you will see the penguins and their nests. Depending on the season, you will be able to meet the penguins in their different stages of reproduction: courtship, pair formation, nest building, egg incubation, chick birth, among others.

Excellent tour to Punta Tombo with a very informative guide (Daniel). Transportation from the cruise port was waiting for us when we got off the ship. Daniel spoke excellent English and gave us tons of information about the Magellan penguins and Patagonia. As promised we saw tons of penguins as well as other animals along the way. I highly recommend this tour, nothing but positive things to say
