The Estancia San Lorenzo Natural Reserve is located within the Peninsula Valdés Protected Natural Area, 160 kilometers from the city of Puerto Madryn, in the province of Chubut, Patagonia Argentina. On its coasts is located a colony of more than 600,000 Magellanic penguins that can be visited between September 7 and March 31 of each year, making it the largest continental colony in the world. In addition to having the possibility of observing these wonderful animals in their natural habitat, in the area we can find marine fossils that emerge on the cliffs and ravines that drain into the sea. Thanks to the diversity of attractions, you can choose to travel different trails that vary according to the area to visit and their difficulty. You can enjoy the Penguin Land option, which consists of a mini trekking through the area with the highest concentration of animals. You can also enjoy the Penguin Experience in its classic and evening tour: Sunset Penguin Experience.

The guide walked with us through the penguin colony, was informative. During the walk a sea lion was on the beach an we sat down to watch him. A great experience. They also offer an amazing lunch in the restaurant.

It was a magical experience to walk amongst the penguins! We were able to get up close to the penguins. There were penguins everywhere and as far as the eyes can see. The admission is pricey but well worth the money especially since the estancia does a great job caring for and protecting this colony. This penguin tour was the highlight of our time on Peninsula Valdes.

Haber podido conocer a los pingüinos en su hábitat natural fue una experiencia única. Además, el guía fue muy informativo y apasionado, siempre procurando la conservación de la fauna local. Hermosa excursión!
