Nestled in the Beagle Channel, Isla Martillo is a small island in southern Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego, renowned for its resident Magellanic penguins. Hundreds of these charismatic birds make their home here, and some boat tours offer the unique opportunity to disembark and walk among them on the pebble beach. From this vantage point, visitors can also take in the stunning views of snow-capped mountains that frame the island, creating a picturesque and serene setting.
