Description
Would you like to explore the impressive Tierra del Fuego and have the opportunity to observe the majestic king penguins? We will start picking up passengers at their hotel in Punta Arenas (urban area) to start our navigation (Ferry) through the Strait of Magellan. Our destination is Porvenir, in Tierra del Fuego, with an approximate navigation time of 2 hours.
Once on the island, we will visit Porvenir with a small city tour and a stop for lunch. Then, we will head to the King Penguin Natural Reserve, where you will have the unique opportunity to see the imposing king penguins, the second largest species in the world.
After about an hour of observation and walking along the marked trail, we will continue our journey through Tierra del Fuego.
We will then head to Punta Delgada, the narrowest part of the Strait of Magellan, for our second navigation (estimated time: 30 minutes). During this tour, we will visit several historical sites, such as Estancia San Gregorio, an estancia founded in 1878 that still preserves some of its original facilities.
Finally, we will return to Punta Arenas.
