Our adventure includes a visit to the Fernando Cordero Museum, where you'll learn about the fascinating history, culture, and way of life of the island’s first inhabitants.
The highlight of the day is the opportunity to observe the majestic King Penguin—the second-largest penguin species in the world—in its natural habitat, offering an unforgettable wildlife experience.
This unique full-day excursion operates seasonally from October through March, when weather and wildlife conditions are ideal for visiting the colony.

What to expect
After lunch, we will continue along Bahía Inútil, crossing the island’s vast pampas and endless horizons. Along the way, you may spot a variety of birds, traditional sheep farms, and herds of guanacos—a South American camelid related to llamas and alpacas.
After approximately 114 km, we will arrive at the King Penguin Park, home to a permanent colony of this species, the second-largest penguin in the world after the emperor penguin.
We will then head back to the continent via Primera Angostura, the narrowest point of the strait at just 5 km wide, crossing by ferry in about 20 minutes. From there, we will continue by road for approximately 200 km until we return to Punta Arenas.
