CHILE TRAVEL, 
ANTARCTICA
After an approximately 2-hour trip northbound towards La Serena, we will arrive in the fishermen’s Town of Los Choros. From here we will embark on a motorboat to tour around the Islands of Damas, Choros and Gaviotas, which are part of the Humboldt Penguin National reserve. During this experience we will watch the marine fauna and the coastal inhabiting the rocky shores, such as penguins, several species of seagulls, pelicans and seabirds, sea lions and seals. With a little luck we may watch a colony of bottlenose dolphins that often jump and do pirouettes next to the motorboats. We will set foot on Damas Island, with its beaches of white sand. In the afternoon and after some time off for relaxation, we will go to the mainland to have lunch at Choros Cove and then return.
