Full Description
Discover the amazing Patagonian wildlife walking among thousands of penguins in Punta Tombo and immerse yourself in the charming Welsh culture by visiting the historic town of Gaiman
Begin an exciting Patagonian journey towards Punta Tombo, the most important continental penguin colony in the world. Before arriving, you will enjoy a brief stop to admire the colossal replica of the world's largest dinosaur. Upon entering the reserve, you will visit the Interpretation Center to fully understand the life of Magellanic penguins and the vital importance of protecting their natural ecosystem.
The adventure continues along an extensive trail that culminates facing the sea. There you can closely observe thousands of penguins in their natural habitat: building nests, feeding their chicks, or swimming agilely in the ocean. Please note that the entrance ticket to this protected area is not included and must be paid directly upon arrival.
After this unforgettable connection with wildlife, the tour enters the picturesque town of Gaiman, a settlement famous for preserving its Welsh heritage intact. You will take a panoramic tour of its historic streets and have free time. Please note that this tour has additional options not included in the base rate; if you wish to enrich your experience by tasting the traditional Welsh tea, you must notify the local provider in advance.
