This makes it a national treasure, due to aesthetic and scientific reasons. It's the only place in the world where five different species of cormorans coexist, all of them feeding in the area and three of them nesting. The Magellanic penguin is a usual inhabitant of the inlet from October to April and the most important roockeries are Quiroga Island, Punta del Paso Key, Birds Island and Chaffers Island. Return to the hotel.
