Punta Tombo is a protected provincial reserve in Chubut, Argentina, hosting one of the largest Magellanic penguin colonies on continental South America.
Tens to hundreds of thousands of penguins return annually to nest, incubate eggs, raise chicks, and feed in nearby coastal waters, creating reliably close wildlife encounters along boardwalks and viewing platforms.
