Punta Tombo Penguin Colony

The penguin colony is open throughout the season from September to April, months when thousands arrive.

There, thousands of penguins in their natural habitat walk slowly, sometimes hundreds of meters, from their nests to the sea to feed and then return; and in summer, we can see their newborn chicks. Along the way, we'll likely see herds of guanacos and groups of rheas running across the Patagonian steppe, and perhaps a fox or armadillo.
