Description

Experience an unforgettable adventure in the mysterious Tierra del Fuego and get up close to the majestic colony of king penguins, the second largest penguin species in the world. We'll start by picking you up at your hotel in Punta Arenas (urban area) and then take a ferry across the Strait of Magellan to the city of Porvenir. There, you'll enjoy a short city tour and a lunch stop. Then we'll visit the King Penguin Nature Reserve, where you'll have time to walk along the trail and quietly observe these unique birds in their natural habitat. Later, we'll head to Punta Delgada, the narrowest part of the Strait, for a second ferry ride (about 30 minutes). On the way, you'll check out the historic Estancia San Gregorio, founded in 1878 and still with its original buildings.
