🇦🇷 Comprehensive guide on how to visit penguins' homes at zero distance.

💁‍♀️Foreword: My husband and I arrived in Argentina in mid-January, and Ushuaia was our last stop. This island only receives 80 visitors per day and requires advance reservation. Our journey with the little penguins was an unforgettable experience. If you plan to get up close and personal with the penguins like we did, this article will definitely be helpful for you. 🥾Island access: As this island is privately owned, visitors must join a tour group and cannot explore independently. 🧳Ticket purchasing method: Only 80 people are allowed to visit the island every day, so it is recommended to make a reservation in advance. After placing an order on the piratour website, a travel agency staff member will contact you by email to confirm your registration information and island visit time (be sure to confirm carefully). You will receive an email with a map and confirmation letter attachment upon successful reservation. 💲Price: $180/person, including breakfast and transportation, with no additional costs throughout the trip. 🕙Duration: Departure at 7:00 am and return at 2:00 pm in the afternoon. 🚗Daily itinerary: 1. On the day of departure, everyone will gather at the travel agency at 6:30 am (location as shown in the picture), and then take a bus from the inland. After about 45 minutes, you will arrive at a campsite. 2. Next, we will divide into two groups, AB. Group A will have breakfast at the campsite, while group B will continue to take another "seemingly stronger" bus and travel for about 15 minutes. 3. After taking the bus to the seaside, transfer to a speedboat and sail for about 10 minutes, then a large island with standing penguins comes into view; congratulations, you have arrived at your destination! 4. On the island, there are specialized tour guides who will explain as they lead the way. Just follow along and don't get left behind. 🌟Attention: 1. Walk quietly and slowly throughout the journey, do not touch, feed, or scare the penguins. The people here have spent a long time building trust with the penguins, and if they are frightened, they may not return the following year. 2. The wind on Penguin Island is strong and cold, everyone should pay attention to keeping warm and bring hats and gloves.
