Penguins in Peninsula Valdes San Lorenzo Ranch and Punta Cantor<\/h2>[vc_column_text]The San Lorenzo Ranch<\/strong>, located within Peninsula Valdes<\/strong><\/a>, with 4600 meters of coastline on the waters of the San Mat\u00edas Gulf, has one of the largest and continuously growing penguin colonies<\/strong> in the Argentine Patagonia<\/strong>.
\nThe penguins<\/strong> Arrive in a mate and raise the chicks more than 200,000 seabirds. This Penguin Colony<\/strong> with an annual progressive growth of approximately 20% began to form at the beginning of the 1970s. Exceeded in quantity by Punta Tombo<\/strong><\/a>, which shelters nearly 1,000,000 penguins..<\/p>\n

For some scientists and connoisseurs, the San Lorenzo Penguin Colony<\/strong>, barely 40 years old, was growing, due to a territorial displacement from Punta Tombo<\/strong>, attracted by schools of fish, on the seaboard of Pen\u00ednsula Vald\u00e9s, the food they need daily to feed and feed their young.<\/p>\n

The amount of penguins<\/strong><\/a> that we can see as tourists is the same in Peninsula Valdes<\/strong> or Punta Tombo<\/strong>. They are Many Penguins<\/strong> !!! The density of the nests is proportional and the route is through limited trails of the penguin colonies<\/strong>. When talking about such large numbers, and distribution along several kilometers on the coast, if you come to Peninsula Valdes<\/strong><\/a> because of the enormous diversity of fauna, you have to be aware of the distance to Punta Tombo<\/strong>, from Puerto Piramides<\/strong>. make 600 kilometers between roundtrip !!!<\/strong>, crossing cities and losing a lot of time to travel that huge distance, to be in a reserve just a few hours.[\/vc_column_text]\n
