\"Penguins

Penguins colony of Punta Tombo Argentine Patagonia<\/p><\/div>\n

The scientific community pays special attention to this geographical change. The most heard theory is that the population of penguins moves because there is a greater concentration of fish and marine life, inland waters at the height of the Pen\u00ednsula Vald\u00e9s<\/strong>. For some scientists and connoisseurs, the San Lorenzo Penguin Colony<\/strong><\/a>, barely 40 years old, was growing, due to a territorial displacement from Punta Tombo<\/strong>, attracted by schools of fish, on the seaboard of Peninsula Valdes<\/strong><\/a>, the food they need daily to feed and feed their young. These data are corroborated by Pablo Garcia Borboroglu<\/strong> Researcher of CONICET Argentina<\/strong> and President of GPS <\/strong>(Global Penguin Society)<\/em>.
\nIf you come to Peninsula Valdes<\/strong> because of the enormous diversity of fauna, you have to be aware of the distance to Punta Tombo<\/strong>, from Puerto Piramides<\/strong><\/a>. 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][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”30px” equal_height=”yes” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#F4ECE0″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”30″ constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”30″ left_padding_desktop=”30″ constrain_group_2=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”30″ top_margin=”60″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”20px” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column top_padding_desktop=”0″ bottom_padding_desktop=”0″ left_padding_desktop=”0″ right_padding_desktop=”0″ top_margin=”0″ bottom_margin=”0″ left_margin=”0″ right_margin=”0″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”0px” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”30880″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”20px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”10px” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”3\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Enjoy our Eco Hotel in Puerto Pir\u00e1mides.
