Ancud and Penguin Colony

The tour begins by crossing the Chacao Canal to Isla Grande de Chiloe aboard a ferry that sets sail in Pargua, a small village near Puerto Montt. Once in Chiloe Island, the tour heads to the city of Ancud, one of the largest in the island.

The first stop is at the Caulin beach resort, followed by the Bird Sanctuary and finally the city of Ancud. Here travelers visit the Plaza de Armas square, the Regional Museum, the Municipal Market, Huaihuen hill and San Antonio Fortress. Visitors head next to Puñihuil beach, where a ship is boarded and cruises to the isles inhabited by Magallanes and Humboldt penguins. This is the only place in the world where both species live together.
