Highlights
  • Replica del Titanosaurio - This tour begins at 7:30 a.m., the time when we begin the search for each passenger for their accommodation in Puerto Madryn.

Our first stop is at the full-scale replica of the Patagotitan Mayorum, the largest dinosaur in the world found in the area.

At more than 8 meters tall and weighing an estimated 74 tons, it turned out to be the largest creature known to have ever walked on Earth.

We will take advantage of the stop to take some photographs and then we will return to the south.

  • Playa Union - Depending on the time of high tide, we visit Playa Unión either early in the morning or in the afternoon, after visiting the Punta Tombo pine forest.

Here we take a brief city tour to explore the city and enjoy the incredible landscape of this open sea resort.

Those who wish can embark on the Toninas Overas Sighting navigation (additional - NOT included in the price of the excursion).

For 1.35 hours you will enjoy a nautical ride embarking on the Chubut River, passing by a colony of small sea lions, while observing sea and coastal birds. A nature guide will help us interpret the ecosystem and accompany us in the search for this dolphin. Entering the open sea, we will have the chance to be amazed by the acrobatic, dynamic and fast Tonina Overa.

In case of bad weather, or for those who want to tour the city, you can take a quiet walk along the waterfront and visit local museums.

  • Punta Tombo - From Puerto Madryn we have a distance of 180 km (2 hours of travel) on National Route N°3 towards the south towards the city of the penguins.
