The journey to Punta Tombo is one of the most fascinating drives on the Patagonia steppe. In this area you find the largest continental Penguin rookery in South America. It is located 120 miles (180 km.) south of Puerto Madryn, in a protected area of more than 200 hs. with soft pebbly beaches. On the rocky peninsula and neighbouring areas, ther are over 200.000 reproductive couples of Magellan Penguins.
The majestic place is being taken care of by specialized fauna keepers, the visitors can stop at the cafeteria and use the sanitary facilities.
The tour is complete with a visit to the Rawson Port: a picturesque fishing port, located on the mouth of Chubut River, with its yellow fleet, and stand for selling fresh seafood at the side of the road. On this tour, visitors can choose to engage in an activity of great emotional impact: going on board to watch the schools of Toninas Overas that always swim near de shore.
