Thousands of Magellanic penguins return to the shores of the Punta Tombo Nature Reserve every year. From September through the end of March, they spend their time courting, mating and hatching a brood of chicks. By April, both mature and young penguins are ready to migrate to warmer climates. Quite unfazed by human company, the penguins allow you to get in close for an unparalleled nature viewing experience. Combine this unique field trip with the vintage charm of a timeless Welsh tradition. You'll sip your tea from a dainty porcelain cup while savoring delicate finger sandwiches, buttered bread and jam, luscious cream tarts and the typical "torta alesa" a kind of fruit cake of both Patagonian and Welsh design. Sent on your way with a souvenir or two from the tea house shop, you'll complete your moderate half-day tour with a scenic drive back across the Patagonian steppe.
