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.

The journey to the Natural Monument, Los Pingüinos on Magdalena Island lasts for an hour and a half. While sailing through the Magellan Strait, a guide will inform us about the area in English and Spanish. 

After disembarking on the island’s dock, our visit to the penguin colony will last for approximately one hour before starting the return to Punta Arenas. Once we are back at the pier, PLUS passengers will be transported to their hotel. Tourist Cabin passengers will also be able to request transportation from the pier for an additional cost.
