We’ll immerse ourselves in the beauty of the landscape until we reach the boarding point, where the true adventure begins.
Once there, we’ll board semi-rigid boats that will take us to the magical Martillo Island. After a 15-minute navigation, you’ll enjoy a one-hour walk, exploring the colony of gentoo and Magellanic penguins alongside our expert guide.
