Description

Description

We will pick you up at your hotel in La Serena to head north towards Punta de Choros, the departure point for this unforgettable adventure.


You will begin with a boat ride to Isla Choros, where you can spot diverse bird species such as Humboldt penguins, cormorants, and pelicans, as well as sea lions, otters, and, with some luck, bottlenose dolphins.


Then, you will land on Isla Damas, famous for its white-sand beaches and turquoise waters, a perfect setting to enjoy and take amazing photos.


Finally, we will return by boat to Punta de Choros to take the vehicle to La Serena, closing a tour that combines wildlife, marine life, and the stunning coastal landscapes of northern Chile.
