The day begins by picking up approximately 07:00 AM from your hotel in Punta Arenas and then, we will go to the Tres Puentes terminal to take the ferry that in 2 hours of navigation crosses the Strait of Magellan to the Island of Tierra del Fuego .
The landing takes place in the Bay of Chilota and from there it is a journey of 5 kilometers to reach the city of Porvenir; to see the main square of its Selknam Plaza de Armas.

Later, we continue the trip to King Penguin Park, 114 km from the city. This trip takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes and a large part of it is bordering Useless Bay.
The Park is a unique sighting place where, following the path, we can observe a group of approximately 30 to 40 specimens of this species at a distance of between 15 and 20 meters approximately.
After 1 hour in the place, we will continue our trip observing from the route the helmet of the Josefina Estancia, one of the most important of the island.
