Punta Loma is the only permanent South American sea lion colony in the area, making it an essential stop for nature lovers. From the clifftop viewpoint, enjoy an incredible panoramic view of the sea lions as they rest and interact on the rocky shores below. Keep an eye out for cormorants and other seabirds that nest along the cliffs. Continuing along the coastal road, stop at Punta Este, a lesser-known but stunning viewpoint where the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean meets the rugged Patagonian coastline. It’s the perfect spot for photos and to take in the serenity of the landscape. Entrance fee must be paid upon arrival at the reserve. Only credit cards are accepted.

The Punta Loma tour includes a city tour. We start in the north area, where Madryn shows its wild side: panoramic coastal lookouts, cliffs, wide beaches, and big open views over Golfo Nuevo. It’s a great place for photos and for spotting seabirds—and depending on the season, you might even catch wildlife activity offshore. Then we move through downtown, the heart of the city: the waterfront promenade, main landmarks, and the everyday life of Madryn. Along the way, your guide shares the city’s story—its connection to the port, tourism, and the culture that shaped it—plus helpful tips on what to do, where to eat, and what not to miss. We finish in the south area, with calmer coastal scenery and quieter beaches—ideal for a relaxed stop, more photos, and soaking in the Patagonian atmosphere.
