DESCRIPTION
Los Pingüinos Natural Monument is located thirty-five kilometers northeast of Punta Arenas in the Region of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica.
It is a protected area for fauna, such as the Magellanic penguin, Dominican gull, black-browed albatross and imperial cormorant. At the southwestern end of the island, there are one and two-haired sea lions. As for flora, the island’s vegetation is scarce, making for wide, spacious views.
