Penguin Colony of Otway Sound (Seno Otway)

Otway Sound, located in southern Chile near Punta Arenas, is home to one of the world’s most accessible penguin preserves. Every September, thousands of Magellanic penguins, all in pairs, migrate to this large inland bay to build their nests. The site offers visitors a unique opportunity to observe these small, warm-weather penguins in their natural habitat, as they engage in their annual nesting rituals. The preserve’s well-maintained paths and viewing areas ensure that guests can get a close-up look at the penguins without disturbing them, making it a memorable and educational experience.
