Martillo Island (Isla Martillo) – A trip to Martillo Island to see the Magellanic penguins is a must do. Take a day tour that includes a bus ride overland to Estancia Harberton, then zodiac boat to the island. On the island, kids will have a chance to walk among the penguins – they're not afraid of people. September to February, not only will you see the penguins, but also penguin nests (burrows in the ground) and chicks. Highly recommended! |

Boat ride up the Beagle Channel – Go for a three hour boat ride up the Beagle Channel to Les Eclaireurs lighthouse. From the boat, you'll see oodles of penguins and sea lions lolling on aptly-named Sea Lions Island (Isla de los Lobos), cormorants, albatrosses, and other sea birds in the air (bring your binoculars). |

Pipo Valley five miles west of Ushuaia. Get off at the Cascada la Macarena station for beautiful waterfalls and reconstruction of a Yamana native village. |
