All Patagonia Tours & Excursions in 2026

Join a private shore excursion to Punta Tombo, South America's largest Magellanic penguin colony, home to around half a million penguins. With a local guide, experience an exclusive tour walking among these fascinating birds in their natural habitat. Witness one of nature's most spectacular wildlife spectacles up close and gain insight into their behaviors while learning about sustainability and conservation.

The adventure begins in 4WD vehicles along the emblematic Route 40, heading to the majestic Santa Cruz River. Once there, after a brief technical talk and equipped with state-of-the-art dry suits, we set out to paddle in the calm waters that once inspired Darwin.

I discovered the fauna and landscapes of Tierra del Fuego in a responsible penguin watching experience, designed to enjoy Isla Martillo while respecting its natural habitat. The experience begins at our office, in the center of Ushuaia. From there we will travel along National Route 3 and Provincial Route J, crossing mountains, forests, and rivers until we reach Puerto Almanza, facing the Beagle Channel. From there we will sail to Martillo Island. We will approach their coasts to observe the penguins from the boat, without disembarking or walking among them. This modality seeks to reduce human interference and protect the areas where penguins rest, feed, and nest, offering a more respectful and sustainable alternative. You will enjoy approximately 30 minutes of navigation and spotting near the island, always from a safe distance and without disembarking.
