From now on, enjoy the sea breeze and panoramic views as you sail the Strait of Magellan. The coastal landscape, with its
steep cliffs and the vastness of the ocean, creates a unique atmosphere of exploration.
We sail for approximately an hour and a half through the waters of the Strait of Magellan, immersed in a breathtaking seascape. During the journey, we enjoy our guide`s narration, enriching the experience with interesting facts about the region`s fauna and flora.
One of the highlights comes when we arrive at the majestic Magdalena Island at approximately 10:30 a.m. or 5:00 p.m. Upon arrival at Magdalena Island, we will be greeted by the majesty of the local fauna. The
island is home to one of the largest penguin colonies in the region, where these charming island inhabitants welcome us with their unique behavior.

We will observe their natural habitats, their playful interactions, and capture enchanting moments while enjoying their coastal environment.
We will also be able to observe the life of the
northern gulls, black-browed albatrosses, and imperial cormorants up close. The
island is a wildlife sanctuary, and every moment reveals the harmony of nature.
