---------------

There are three species of penguins in Ushuaia—the most common (and likely to be on the island in great numbers) are Magellanic penguins, followed by the larger (as well as rarer) Gentoo and King penguins. These species are very different in size and color. Magellanic penguins are primarily black with white stripes around the head and wings. Gentoo penguins most closely resemble those from Mary Poppins, with solid black and white colors, except for orange feet and beaks. Finally, the King penguin has the sleek grey and yellow look and stature of the Emperor penguin, though they are a bit smaller. All of these species come to the island to breed, the Magellanic often year after year to the same nest and the same partner. Breeding season is in early spring and summer, beginning in early October. Young can be seen all summer through to February, the best time anyway to book a Patagonia trip, due to the favorable weather this far south.

The operators to the island near Ushuaia offer only two trips a day, and limit the number of passengers per trip to a mere twenty. This means that visitors can explore the island without disturbing the penguin’s natural habitat. The guides remind everyone however that no matter how cute a penguin is or how tempting it is to pick one up and cuddle it, one should not. This does not bar the penguins from intimate movement, and it is very likely that these curious creatures will come to within a meter’s distance while walking the island. The experience is guaranteed to be so enchanting that the full hour on the island will pass by rapidly, as do unfortunately most of the experiences on a Patagonia trip.

Because seeing penguins in Ushuaia is such an exclusive experience, it is not surprising that during the high season (November to February), places are hard to get to without a prior reservation, so book early! The number of penguins is highest during this time. The journey there involves first a bus ride to the Halburton Estancia (a prominent spot in the book In Patagonia, by Bruce Chatwin), and from there by boat to the Martillo(penguin) island. The entire excursion is with a guide, and it goes without say, will be one of the really valuable highlights of a Patagonia trip. (source : [ Ссылка ] )
