Leaving Puerto Madryn, toward the south, by the No 3 national route, and after traveling through 120 miles of pavement and gravel, we will arrive at Punta Tombo, the greater continental reserve of Magellan Penguins (Spheniscus Magallanicus). This incredible place its home of thousands of Magellan Penguins, and every year since October, they arrive to nest and to have their chicks.
