Penguin Sanctuary and Otway Sound

Everyone loves penguins, and what better place to see them than in their natural habitat? Journey north from Punta Arenas to the beautiful Otway Sound, where you will encounter the wild colonies of Magellan Penguins. These amazing creatures nest here every year, between November and March. This will undoubtedly be the one of the highlights of your trip!

65 km away from Punta Arenas (40 miles) on the Otway Sound, penguins come to nest every year between November and March.

The species found here is the Magellan Penguin and to reach the nesting site, there is a walk of 2 km (1.2 miles) across the coastal land to this sanctuary. It is possible to watch the penguins close up, courting and caring for their young, depending on the time of year.
