We set out early for the penguin colony at the Punta Tombo Provincial reserve. After a two-and-a-half hour journey watching the Patagonian steppe, we will get to this limitless penguin colony: 200 hectares of clay and sand that house thousands of nests where the penguins lay their eggs and raise their chicks.

We will walk around the paths among the penguins for about an hour and a half to watch their behaviour. The reserve has a park keeper and also offers sanitary and cafeteria facilities to the visitor.

Later on the tour, we will visit Gaiman, where a group of Welsh people settled down in the past. The tour guide will explain the events that took place during the settlement while historical interest points as well as the building style of the village are observed.

An optional stop at a typical tea-house to enjoy a traditional Welsh tea service is offered. We continue our way to Trelew with its main attraction:the modern Egidio Feruglio Paleontologic Museum.

Wet return to Puerto Madryn at sunset.
