Puerto Madryn Things to Do Tips by TinyTuck

Wildlife tours!!

We did 2 organized one-day-tours:

A) Once around the peninsula including a whale watching boat ride (a must!) and some stops to see the sea elephants (from far), a few penguins, and the rare chance to see an orca (we didn't). There are also guanacos (llamas) and other little animals, we saw amardillos and a fox.

B) Down to Punta Tombo - the largest penguin breeding spot of Patagonia. (It's a must if you love penguins as much as I do - see the t-logue to get convinced!). And we also stopped to take a boat ride to see the Commerson's dolphin (little black and white ones) which was also worth it!

Directions: You can arrange those tours about anywhere in Puerto Madryn, probably also from your hostel. Prices don't differ much, as far as we saw. I think you can easily do the trips alone by car.
