Details

You will cross the Strait of Magellan on a scenic navigation to reach Tierra del Fuego. At the King Penguin Natural Reserve, where you will stay for 1 hour, you will follow designated trails with a local guide who will share fascinating insights about the species. From specific viewpoints, you will observe the King Penguins, the second-largest penguin species in the world, while respecting their environment.
