VISIT OF PUNTA TOMBO on the way
Arrival at Trelew airport. You shall be met by our
representative and depart for a full day Tour to Punta Tombo
Penguins reservoir, on the Atlantic coast. After a 2-hour
drive we reach Tombo. Half a million Magellan penguins breed
here, the largest penguin nesting ground in continental
South America. There are many others species of seabirds and
shorebirds, most notably king and rock cormorants, giant
petrels, kelp gulls, flightless steamers ducks, and black
oystercatchers. Most of the nesting area is fenced off; this
does not prevent your approaching the birds for photography,
but remember that penguins can inflict a bite serious enough
to require stitches. They remain on land from September to
April. Final arrival to Hotel in Puerto Madryn.

Day 2: Puerto Madryn FD Peninsula Valdes
Breakfast at Hotel Morning departure for a full day tour to
Peninsula Valdes. About 18Km. of Puerto Madryn, across the
Carlos Ameghino Isthmus enter Peninsula Valdes, one of the
finest wildlife reserves in South America. Sea lions, sea
elephants, seals, guanacos, rheas and many seabirds are
present in large numbers in the beaches and headlands. Sheep
breading ranches “estancias” occupy most of the peninsula’s
interior, which includes one of the lowest continental
depressions in the world, the salt flats of Salina Grande
and Salina Chica, 42 meters below sea level. In the San Jose
Gulf, just off the Isthmus, is the Bird’s Island, a bird
sanctuary off limits to humans but visible through a
powerful telescope. Puerto Piramide, the peninsula’s only
village, was the port of exit for salt from Salina Grande at
the turn of the century, but now it depends exclusively on
tourism. Right whales visit its sandy white beaches between
July and December. Caleta Valdes, on the eastern shore, is a
sheltered bay with a long gravel spit onto which Sea
Elephants haul up in the spring. They are easily
photographed, but should not be approached too closely.
Guanacos sometimes stroll across the beach. Return to Puerto
Madryn.
