Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted November 22, 2019 Author #276 Share Posted November 22, 2019 They had a ramp next to the pier for us to descend Our guide Max met us at the small building on the pier and gave us a map . We were headed South to Punta Tombo . We needed to walk to the end of the pier where the van was . It's a long walk ! We made a beeline for the park about 2 hours away and only stopped for a couple wildlife photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
