Description
Discover Tierra del Fuego and the King Penguin Park on this full-day tour from Punta Arenas. Take a ferry across the Magellan Strait, visit Porvenir, one of the southernmost cities in Patagonia, and see the King Penguins in their natural habitat.
Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Punta Arenas. Head to the ferry terminal and take a 2-hour ferry ride across the Magellan Strait. Arrive in Bahía Chilota and drive to Porvenir, one of the southernmost cities in Patagonia.
Visit the small square called “Plaza Selknam” to take some pictures. Then, head to a small and cheap restaurant for lunch (not included). Continue your trip to the King Penguin Park, located on the shore of Bahía Inútil.
Spend 1 hour at the park to enjoy and take pictures of the penguins. On your way back to the ferry, stop at the small town of Cerro Sombrero, built for the National Oil Company Workers.
Once on the ferry back to the continent, start your way back to Punta Arenas. On your way back, have one last stopover at San Gregorio Estancia. Arrive back in Punta Arenas by 9:00 PM.
