One of the most famous penguin highways in the world can be found at Punta Tombo in the region of Chubut. Every September Magallanes penguins come here to nest. When it’s time to migrate in April the older birds will head for the Antarctic while the younger ones head for Brazil. With help from local conservationists we learn of the penguins’ mating habits, their parenting skills, and the on-going work to identify the birds, determine their habits and protect them from oil spills.
