MAGDALENA ISLAND PENGUIN RESERVE
ACTIVITIES FROM PUERTO NATALES AND THE AREA

Magdalena Island
Duration: 5 hs
One of the paradises of birds watchers. The Magdalena Island, together with Marta small island, make up the natural monument Los Pingüinos, natural habitat of more than 120,000 Magellan penguins and one of the biggest southern penguins colony of Chile.
The trip to the island is a real spectacle. Two hours sailing through the Strait of Magellan where it is possible to have astonishing panoramic views of Punta Arenas, Tierra del Fuego plains and oilfields of Cabo Negro or Laredo Bay. All this to reach to this place located 35 km from the city of Punta Arenas and immersed in the strait itself. Once there, the landscape is even more beautiful, and penguins, cormorants and sea wolfs, among others, are the main characters. During one hour, you'll see thousands of penguins and nests in a walk through the trails that go from the coast to the top of the island, where there is a lighthouse that houses the Environmental Interpretation Center with the history of the strait and the fauna of the area.
The island has rangers who take care of the ecosystem and guide visitors if required. At all times, the group will be accompanied by a local guide. Please, help us preserve the environment without throwing wastes and avoiding disturbing birds. The use of flashes is prohibited. There are no stores in the place.
