Penguin rookery and Estancia Harberton
This excursion is long—6 to 9 hours—but worth it.
First, you head east where you will pass the Isla de los Lobos
(Island of the Wolves) and Isla Pájaros and the Les Eclaireurs
lighthouse. Further ahead, you can see Puerto Almanza and Isla
Martillo, famous for its penguin colony. Finally, you disembark
at the Harberton Estancia. From here you can travel until the Moat
Estancia, enjoying the river of the same name and glimpse the Chilean
island of Picton.
To return, you have the option of traveling by land over national route 3 and
complementary route “J” that runs along the Beagle Channel
and Brown
Bay (across from which lies Puerto Williams, Chile). Afterwards, appears Mount
Cornú and finally, Lake Victoria. From here it is 90 km to Ushuaia.
