Penguin King Reserve Tour from Ushuaia
Description
I lived an exclusive from Ushuaia to the Penguin King Nature Reserve, one of the most amazing gems in the far south of the continent. The Penguin King Nature Reserve is unique in South America: the only colony that can be visited by land, making it a truly exceptional site. Here inhabits the king penguin, the second largest in the world, easily recognizable by its elegant bearing, white breast and intense orange and yellow tones on the neck and head. Observing them in their natural environment, walking calmly, interacting with each other and caring for their young, is a deeply moving and difficult experience to match. The journey from Ushuaia is a fundamental part of the adventure. We travel an unforgettable scenic route. A tour designed for those looking for something truly different, authentic and memorable at the End of the World.
Tour Options
Itinerary
We start with the pick up at your accommodation in Ushuaia and an initial tour of the city, leaving behind the cityscape to enter the Fueguina route towards a unique experience.
After traveling Route 3 through the Carbajal Valley, Tierra Mayor Valley and Garibaldi Pass, overlooking Lake Escondido and Lake Fagnano, we arrive at Tolhuin. We make a short stop at their historic bakery, where they can use the bathrooms, have a coffee and continue the journey towards the border.
The landscape gradually changes as we leave Tolhuin, leaving behind forests and lakes to make way for the Fueguin steppe. We crossed the city of Rio Grande in a panoramic way, without stopping, and continued the journey towards the border crossing.
We made the border crossing through the San Sebastian Pass, completing the migration procedures between Argentina and Chile. After this point, the landscape becomes more open and Patagonian, and we continue the tour towards the Penguin King Reserve.
We arrived at the Penguin King Nature Reserve, a unique sanctuary in Tierra del Fuego, Chile. From specially designed viewpoints, you can observe this emblematic species in its natural habitat, in a respectful and memorable experience.
After the visit to the Penguin King Reserve, we begin the return to Ushuaia following the same route, crossing again the Patagonian and Fueguin landscapes, with direct arrival to your accommodation.
