Punta Tombo & Gaiman

Explore both local wildlife and local community today as you head to Punta Tombo and Gaiman. Punta Tombo is home to the largest colony of Magellanic penguins in the area where you can view more than a million penguins all in one place. The penguins here are most frequently visited so habituated to human visitors which doesn’t disturb their nesting site and the sight of so many birds all together is quite extraordinary. Then learn about the unique Welsh culture of this corner of Patagonia on a visit to Gaiman where Welsh is still spoken and you can sample Welsh cakes and bara brith! Discover the history of the original settlers in this charming historic town and learn about its continuing traditions. This tour works well either as a day tour from Puerto Madryn or on arrival or departure from Trelew airport.
