  • Lunch and food are not included
  • This tour has very limited availability; availability will be confirmed upon receiving your reservation.
  • This tour will be confirmed once the agency sends the passenger’s request to the penguin colony. For this reason, do not consider the reservation confirmed until you receive confirmation from the agency Azul Latina through this channel.
