Tierra del Fuego is home to the only King Penguin colony in South America, making it one of the most fascinating destinations in the region.
With an area of 22,593 km², Tierra del Fuego is the largest island in both Chile and South America. Its diverse climate, geology, and history make it a unique place to explore. The island is divided into two main areas: the north, dominated by open steppe and sheep farming estancias, and the south, where travelers find lush forests, lakes, mountains, and glaciers.
You can take a two-hour ferry across the Strait of Magellan to Bahía Chilota. Just 5 km away lies the city of Porvenir, founded in 1894 to serve the sheep ranches of the region.
Alternatively, you can travel by land to Primera Angostura, where the strait narrows. From there, a short 40-minute ferry ride will take you to the island.
Because of its unique geography and the presence of the King Penguin colony, Tierra del Fuego offers visitors a truly unforgettable Patagonian experience.
Another option to see penguins is:
Magdalena Island Navigation
We go to each passenger accommodation place in Punta Arenas city, to go then to Tres Puentes port, where we take the first Ferry. Then we board the ferry in direction to Tierra del Fuego. The Magallanes Strait crossing lasts about 2 hours.
In the vehicle, we go to the cultural city of Porvenir, about 5 kms from the port, here we visit some interest points in the city.
We take the route in direction to the King Penguin Park, about 105kms from Porvenir city. Located in Bahía Inútil, where you can meet the only King Penguin colonyin South América.
King Penguin visit, here we recieved an informative talk, and then you watch the penguins from a distance of 25 to 30 meters approximately.
After leave the park, about 45 minutes later north from the penguins, we arrive to Cerro Sombrero little town (of oil origin), we do a little stop here in the oil monument.
We take another ferry in Bahía Azul, and cross again the Magallanes Strait about 40 minutes of navigation (the time depends a lot on the weather, some times the cross its closed due the wind condition and we have to wait here until its safe to cross).
Return from Punta Delgada to Punta Arenas. We do the last stop in the historic place “Estancia San Gregorio”.
Arrival to Punta Arenas (approximate time, could be before or later)
