Aboard our comfortable buses, we’ll head north along the iconic National Route N°3. Along the way, we’ll take a short break to delve into the rich history of the region before continuing on the picturesque Provincial Route "J." Our destination: Puerto Almanza, a charming fishing village located 70 km from Ushuaia.

From this delightful port, we’ll board a custom semi-rigid boat with a capacity for 22 passengers. We’ll sail for 30 minutes through the serene waters of the Beagle Channel, heading toward the famous Martillo Island. This magical place is home to a colony of Gentoo and Magellanic penguins, offering an unforgettable experience.

We’ll enjoy 40 minutes of observation from the boat, getting close enough to admire their behavior in their natural habitat a moment that will leave a lasting impression. Afterward, we’ll return to Puerto Almanza, where you can relax and recharge before heading back to Ushuaia.

From March to October, Magellanic penguins migrate, and only Papuas Penguins remain on the island. They are incredibly beautiful creatures and can be distinguished from Magellanic penguins as the Papuas Penguin is larger, with a red-orange beak and a white band across the top of its head, while the Magellanic penguin has a double black band on its chest and a darker, more classic appearance.
