Cabo Vírgenes is located in the southernmost point of the American Continent nearby the East mouth of the Magellan Strait which connects the Atlantic Sea with the Pacific.

Here we can visit some interesting spots such as the Reserve, the lighthouse and the beach with vast open views of the sea and the Magellan Strait. The Provincial Reserve was established to protect the second largest colony of the Magellanic Penguin of South America, after Punta Tombo (Chubut, Argentina). It houses more than 130 thousand breeding mates of this species.

The path allows walking among these cute birds and letting us see the beach where the penguins rest and feed on fishes and squids. Sometimes the coast is visited by other penguins like the King, Gentoo or Southern Rockhooper ones and pelagic birds such as Black-browed Albatross, Northern and Southern Giant Petrel, White-chinned Petrel and more.

This place doesn’t fail surprise and enchant visitors with its vastness and wilderness. We invite you to discover it.
