What To Expect
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.
