Excursion Overview
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.

Holiday Architects, and in particular Louise, did a fantastic job organising our trip to South America. It was clear from our initial discussions that she has a detailed first-hand knowledge of the countries that we were planning to visit. Her help was invaluable in planning the trip to take in all of the places that we wanted to explore.

Finally I've got to write about our best holiday in our lives. Louise arranged everything according to our brief and listened from the first phone call. We loved Argentina and the service from Holiday Architects was impeccable. We thank Louise for making this holiday truly amazing and we are looking forward to work with her on our next trip.
E Grange,
