I really hope to go back one day to see the whales and their calves - it must be an incredible sight. Located to 107 km to the south of Trelew, Tombo Point Reserve is one of the most beautiful examples of fauna in the world. It is only comparable with the Galapagos. There is no other colony of penguins of this magnitude that is so easy to reach anywhere in the world. In season there can be close to a million penguins there.
Most people tend to arrive by bus.
Due to its geographical location, Puerto Madryn is an excellent stopping off place for people on route from El Calafate or Rio Gallegos to Buenos Aires. Bus travel in Argentina is reasonably expensive but, considering the fantastic distances covered, it's a good way to travel. The 24 hour trip from Rio Gallegos to Puerto Madryn is an interesting route popular with travellers. There is also an airport in Puerto Madryn but for some unknown reason it's not generally used. Most flights stop at Trelew some 65 km away.
