PENGUIN COLONY

An unforgettable experience: nature, history, and legends in the Beagle Channel.

Departing from the local port on a comfortable catamaran, we'll cruise the bay of Ushuaia, enjoying the mountainous surroundings.

During the navigation, we will visit colonies of South American sea lions and fur seals, as well as Rock and Imperial cormorants. We will approach the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse, an icon of our city, and continue along the Beagle Channel, observing different historic estates along the Fuegian coast. We will sight Puerto Williams on the coast of Navarino Island (south of the Beagle Channel) and enter the MacKinley Passage, skirting the north of Gable Island before reaching Martillo Island. There, we will approach the coast to observe a colony of Magellanic and Gentoo penguins along with other seabirds. We will then return, hugging the Fuegian coast and enjoying the sunset over the channel.

IMPORTANT

To ensure that you enjoy your experience to the fullest at our destination, we recommend that you come prepared with the following clothing and essential accessories:

  1. Layering: The weather can vary throughout the day, so it's important to dress in layers. This will allow you to adapt to different temperatures and stay comfortable at all times.
  2. Coat and Waterproof Footwear: Choose a coat and waterproof footwear to protect yourself from moisture and keep you dry and warm throughout your visit.
  3. Winter Accessories: Don't forget to bring a hat, scarf, neck warmer, and gloves. These items are essential to protect yourself from the cold and wind.
  4. Sun Protection: Even if it's cold, the sun can be very intense. Bring sunglasses to protect your eyes and apply sunscreen to protect your skin.
