What to bring
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. On the way, you will stop at the historic San Gregorio Ranch, established in 1878, where old structures still remain.
We will finish the experience by returning across the Strait of Magellan to Punta Arenas, leaving you with the memory of a truly unique Patagonian adventure.
