Is it allowed to touch the penguins in Punta Tombo and Península Valdés?
No, touching penguins is strictly prohibited in both Punta Tombo and Península Valdés. These are protected natural areas, and interacting with the wildlife can stress the animals and disrupt their natural behavior.
✔ At Punta Tombo, visitors can walk among thousands of Magellanic penguins along designated paths, but must maintain a safe distance and avoid any contact.
✔ At Península Valdés (Caleta Valdés & Punta Norte), penguin colonies are smaller and more regulated, with strict no-touch and no-interaction policies.
