South America Penguins

[bridget02]

Round the Horn Cruise in March 2016 from Valapaiso to Buenos Aires

 

Best place to do an excursion to see PENGUINS and maybe other wildlife

 

Punta Arenas

Ushuaia

Puerto Madryn???

 

Appreciate advice

 

Also any other 'Must see' on this cruise?

We went to Punta Tombo from Puerto Madryn and it far exceeded our expectations: there were literally tens of thousands of penguins of all ages. However it was at the end of January so I don't know how many will be left in March. We also saw guanacos, cavvies and various birds.

 

I reviewed what we did in every port and although we did a round trip from the UK, the middle part will be relevant to you

You will be spoilt for choice!

Having done this itinerary several times I would book Penguin Tours in two ports because you never know if one of the ports will be missed due to weather.

 

I would choose Punta Arenas (Otway Bay) and Puerto Mardryn.

 

For Ushuai I would look at sailing the Beagle Channel tour followed by a walk of the town of Ushuaia.
