Ahuenco island is a natural nesting place for Humboldt & Maguellan Penguins, we respect their privacy and do not get close to penguins in order not to impact them.
There are lookout points from where you can watch them without interfering with their natural behaviours. No pets, or any kind of loud noises aloud in the area.
We are visitors to their home - respect and silence is required.
Pengüins have their nests
in the islands, but spend most of
the day on the beach.
From
time to time you see a sea woolf chacing them.
A trekking path with a very nice
scenic view at all times. |
