Wild Penguins @ Punta Tombo Patagonia, Argentina

Punta Tombo is a peninsula into the Atlantic Ocean 110 km south of Trelew in Chubut Province, Argentina, where there is an important colony of Magellanic Penguins.

There is one requisite: even if you are inches away from a penguin, you must never touch or bother it. You must not forget (not even for a moment) that you are inside a fauna reservation, a special place devoted to preserve this species and its natural habitat. Besides, although penguins are harmless and they are not aggressive at all, if they feel threatened they will defend themselves with their strong, sharp beak.
