]]> Tierra del Fuego island is one of the most remote spots in South America. Split in two by a border, you can hop between the Chilean and the Argentinean side of Tierra del Fuego. It is often said that once you’ve reached this secluded corner of the Andes you’ve truly reached the end of the world. But in fact, Tierra del Fuego offers an epic journey through evergreen forests and forgotten fjords. Here are some of the spots you shouldn’t miss.

The Pinguino Rey Park

Parque Pinguino Rey is home to the only colony of king penguins outside the subarctic islands. It all started as a group of right seemingly lost penguins that washed up the horse in 2010. Today, Tierra del Fuego is home to a colony of nearly 100 penguins thanks to the creation of this private park.

Karukinka National Park

On this 300,000 hectare reserve, you can ding culpeo foxes, tuco-tucos, and guanacos as well as many other unique animals roaming around. Karukinka offers a basic guesthouse, as well as 6 domes and 10 camping sites.

Cape Horn

A boat ride through the Beagle Channel will take you to one of the most iconic places in Tierra del Fuego, Cape Horn. Here, you can gaze out at the place where the Atlantic meets the Pacific.

]]> What place comes to mind when you think about penguins? While Antarctica is probably the answer to this question, Earth’s most untouched continent isn’t the only place in the Southern Hemisphere where these cute black and white creatures can be seen.

If you’re looking to see penguins in the wild and in person, here are three unexpected places where you can also travel to check them out.

Cape Town, South Africa

Yep, that’s right — you can find penguins in Africa if you travel to Cape Town! This world-famous city is the home of penguin colonies on several of its beautiful beaches, which provide an almost unbelievable sight for tourists to see.

Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

You might think more about wine and steak when you think about Argentina, but by traveling to the southernmost tip of this South American country, you will be able to come face-to-face with Magellanic penguins, a species native to the region.

ISLA DE PINGÜINOS (Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego) . Una de las excursiones que se puede hacer es la de ir a ver pingüinos. Una sola es la empresa que te permite bajar a caminar entre ellos (@piratour ) La mayoría de las excursiones son hacer desde Ushuaia a la Isla en alguna embarcación (4hs aprox de navegación), y la vuelta en bus desde Estancia Harberton o en la misma embarcación (4hs más!). Si podes, mí recomendación es hacer al menos una parte por tierra; incluso si podes, hacer como nosotros, que fuimos por nuestra cuenta y nos subimos a la lancha ahí mismo. Mí consejo? Habla antes con Piratour para asegurarte tener lugar. La isla tiene una capacidad de 20 personas máximo por grupo (se determina está cantidad después de un estudio que determina es un número que no debería afectar la vida de los pingüinos allí)!! A nosotros nos pasó que ya estaba completo, pero los chicos muy buena onda, nos dejaron ir en la lancha (la capacidad es de 30pax) y verlos desde arriba de la lancha. Después, por esas cosas de la vida, algunos de los que estaban en el tour tenían tanto frío que se volvieron unos minutos antes, dejando lugar en la isla para que podamos bajar a caminar unos minutos. Debo admitir que desde la lancha vimos un montón! Se te acercan, son curiosos y se mueven bastante juntos. Los ves nadar, rascarse, sacudirse, jugar. Lo que tiene de bueno bajar, es que podes ver otras dos especies de pingüinos que desde la costa es difícil ver: los papua, y una pareja de pingüino rey que son los únicos que hay en la zona! Una excursión que es muy divertida y recomiendo mucho hacerla con Piratour! Fabián y André, ambos manejan las lanchas que salen de la Estancia, unos genios!

Melbourne, Australia

It might seem hard to believe, but you can actually find penguins lounging on the beaches of Australia’s southern coast as well. Fairy penguins, a small and extremely cute species, are particularly numerous in the natural reserves and islands near the city of Melbourne.

What Ushuaia, Argentina is most famous for is being the jumping-off point of tours to Antarctica. There are plenty of Antarctica trips here, from 5-star cruises to cheaper options, but if this expensive trip isn’t in your budget then soak in the excitement of the explorers coming and going from the docks and shops.

The experience isn’t complete without seeing the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse in the Beagle Channel. The lighthouse is an icon of the southernmost tip and comes with incredible views and wildlife, especially birds.

Lastly, the weather in Ushuaia creates unique nature in and around the city. It never gets above 62° Fahrenheit, and with lots of rain, you can find lush National Parks and unique views of the bay. Martial Glacier and Tierra Del Feugo National Park are two of the most common nature outings, but mountain biking, hiking, and skiing in the winter are all available as well.
