    Then, we headed to the village of Puerto Almanza, a small fishing village located on the east coast of the Beagle Channel, 75 km from the city of Ushuaia.

Once in Puerto Almanza we are going to contemplate the beauties of the place, get to know the local port and the characteristic and used crab traps to catch the famous crustacean.

    After lunch, we will experience the unique experience of navigating in customized boats to Martillo Island, to contemplate and coexist in harmony with Magellanic and Papuan penguins for more than 30 minutes. The penguin colony is the habitat they choose to live in, since there they feel the protection and the natural conditions necessary to reproduce and nest. Between the months of October to April we can enjoy both colonies, while the rest of the year the Papuan penguins remain. A natural environment where you can enjoy the penguins very closely.
