Kayaking in Penguins’ Island Day Trip

Overview of the tour in Santiago

By the morning we are going to visit Zapallar beach, an exclusive village with a startling geography. Here we will have the opportunity to hike by the Boldo Natural Park, blanket by a relict forest product of the Humboldt oceanic current and its hills proximity to the sea that facilitate the condensation of coastal fog, bringing special conditions for it successful development. In this activity we can reach high altitudes to admire the beaches of Cachagua, Zapallar and Papudo among others.

After the hike the group will arrive to Las Cujas bay from where our assistant will be waiting with the kayaks over the white sand. From this quiet place we board and start paddling for about 20 minutes to reach the Natural Monument of Cachagua Island. It has registered 14 species of coastal and oceanic birds, making this protected area a fragile and unique ecosystem. Among these birds, there is one that can only survive thanks to the conditions offered by this island; The Humboldt Penguin. An endemic bird of the Humboldt current which inhabits almost the entire Chilean coast and the south of Peru. If we’re lucky we can meet the Chungungo, the smallest marine mammal in the world.
