On this day trip to Damas Island, we'll visit the Pingüino de Humboldt National Reserve, where we'll discover its landscapes and local fauna.

Tour Details

On the day of the activity, we'll pick you up from your hotel in La Serena at the indicated time. During the journey, you'll enjoy the sights of the Quebrada Juan Soldado and the geological sanctuary of Caleta Hornos.

After approximately an hour, our first stop will be Quebrada Los Choros, where you'll discover the native flora and fauna of this region. We'll then drive for another 30 minutes to Punta de Choros, where we will embark on a boat trip to the main islands of the Pingüino de Humboldt National Reserve.
