NAVEGATION MAGDALENA AND MARTA ISLANDS

It was in 1520 when Hernando de Magallanes discovered the strait that was later named after him. Its channels have been the migratory route of the richest fauna in the world: whales, sea lions, penguins, and a variety of sea birds and other animals. The Strait of Magellan was the only way between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

To visit Patagonia, and not sailing its channels, is to miss the essence of this southern area.

It is impossible not to visit the two islands. The ecosystem made up by both of them is wonderful. On Marta Island live more than a thousand sea lions, cormorants, skuas, among others. On Magdalena Island you can interact with one of the biggest colonies of Magellanic Penguins (more than 150,000 birds). Besides, dolphins can be observed during the navigation. In order to help protecting the wild life, it is not possible to disembark in Marta Island. This island is only circumnavigated.

The excursion lasts 3.15 hours.
