Reserva Provincial Cabo Vírgenes

TIME : 2016/2/19 14:20:43

Magellanic penguins nest September through March at Argentina's second-largest penguin rookery in this provincial reserve. There's also a lighthouse and snack bar open seasonally. It's 140km from Río Gallegos on slow gravel roads; the drive can take three hours one way.

Travel agencies in Río Gallegos offer day trips to both the estancia and reserve starting in mid-November.
