Embark on a journey through the wonders of Patagonia, blending wildlife and gourmet dining in one unforgettable 7-hour adventure. Begin with a scenic, 1.75-hour motorcoach transfer to Punta Ninfas, enjoying views of the rugged Patagonian landscape along the way. Upon arrival, trek into the heart of a Magellanic penguin colony. Embark on a walk among the burrows and watch these delightful penguins waddle, interact, and dive into the frigid waters of the Atlantic. Led by wildlife experts, you'll uncover the secrets of penguin behavior, their seasonal migrations, and the ecosystem they inhabit, providing an up-close experience with these unique seabirds. Continue on a 1.5-hour drive to enchanting La Providencia Ranch. Nestled amidst tranquil olive groves, La Providencia welcomes you to a traditional Patagonian barbecue, where you'll savor perfectly grilled lamb, accompanied by fine wines and craft beer. Return to the ship with memories of Patagonia's unique wildlife and culinary traditions.

Special Notes:

This tour is not suitable for guests with mobility issues as it includes walking over uneven surfaces, including sandy beaches, rocky paths, and coastal cliffs. There are no paved pathways, and the natural terrain can be challenging to navigate. Participants should be prepared to walk moderate distances to reach the penguin colonies and sea lion habitats. Key wildlife viewing spots are often located on cliffs or near the water's edge, requiring careful footing and balance. Safety barriers may be minimal, and individuals with balance concerns may find these areas especially challenging. Opportunities for sitting and resting are limited along the tour route. Participants should be prepared for extended periods of standing and walking. Wear sturdy, non-skid walking shoes, and warm, layered clothing with a waterproof and windproof outer layer. Bring gloves, a scarf, and a warm hat. Wildlife sightings are likely, but not guaranteed.
