Embark on this catamaran navigation to visit the penguin colonies of Magdalena Island!
Boarding from Arturo Prat Pier, we head to “Los Pingüinos” Natural Monument, located on Magdalena Island, 35 kilometers northeast of Punta Arenas. After an hour and a half sailing through the Strait of Magellan, we arrive at the island where we disembark and visit the Penguin Colony for about one hour.
