A cruise-day van ride from Puerto Madryn to Punta Tombo to walk among Magellanic penguins, with a bilingual guide and small groups.
“We had a great time in Punto Tombo, it was really nice to see the Magellanic penguins in their natural habitat! Our guide/driver was also very good. The only downside was the car itself; four adults spent four hours in a Dacia Duster, which was really uncomfortable. Otherwise, it was a great day.”
