Description

You’ll have the opportunity to be part of this exclusive excursion, where you’ll get the chance to walk alongside these fascinating creatures for an hour, accompanied by a specialized guide who will share the secrets of their lives and behavior. Our journey begins with check-in at the Ushuaia Tourist Pier, located at the port. From there, we’ll start a bus ride toward Martillo Island along National Route No. 3, where you’ll be amazed by the native vegetation — lenga and coihue forests, vast peat bogs, and majestic mountains. We’ll immerse ourselves in the beauty of the forest 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 short 15-minute navigation, you’ll enjoy a one-hour walk exploring the colony of Gentoo and Magellanic penguins together with our expert guide.
