Pingüinera Caleta Valdés

In this newly formed small penguin colony you can see the Patagonian or Magellanic Penguin, which is usually monogamous and is the best known inhabitant of our shores, with about a thousand penguins that form harems between lions and elephant seals. They arrive in spring and summer to nest in a wide and low hole on the eastern shore of the cove that is sheltered from predators and climatic disasters where they have easy access to places to eat. Both the mother and father penguin are concerned with the raising of the chicks. You can also see other birds such as herons, lots of gulls and ducks on
