Los Pinguinos Natural Monument

Typically the last tour to the island is by mid-March, therefore, plan your visit accordingly. In February the penguin colony is the largest as it is their mating season.

It's crazy to walk around this many (or any) penguins! They are adorable! Smelly and noisy beyond belief! Don't miss the opportunity if you get it
The babies were just a month or two old
Fantastic park to observe penguins. These guys are very cute! The island about an hour or so by boat from Punta Arenas.
