Hundreds of Magallenic Penguins have started to arrive to Chubut along Argentina’s Atlantic Coast after having migrated to two wildlife reserves, Punta Tombo and Cabo Dos Bahías. The protected area of Punta Tombo is home to over a million penguins during the peak of mating season. Magallenic Penguins are known for their friendly and amiable nature, allowing tourists to take pictures and come up closely. The first penguins to arrive to the area are the males, who start things off by setting up their nests. Tourists will have limited access at Punta Tombo in order to preserve and help lower the levels of disruption for the area’s natural wildlife.
