Penguin Colony & Ranch day Tour in El Pedral

This excursion starts in the morning and departs from Puerto Madryn in small groups. Not only does it allow you to observe amazing fauna, it also enables you to experience the Atlantic Patagonia from the point of view of the first pioneers who settled in this area in the last century. It constitutes an excellent choice for those who could not schedule a stay in our hotel or want to avoid long journeys to visit a colony of penguins. Every year in September, a growing colony of friendly Magellanic penguins settles at the mouth of the Golfo Nuevo, minutes from our hotel, in an intact and magnificent environment.
