Leave Valparaíso behind for a day and visit one of the main Humboldt penguin colonies on the Chilean coast on our Cachagua Island Penguin Watching activity.

Cachagua Island Penguin Watching

At 9 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Valparaíso and drive north through Viña del Mar, Reñaca, Concón and the mouth of the Aconcagua River. After a 1-hour 30-minute drive along the Pacific coast, we will arrive in Zapallar. Here, we will board a fishermen's boat to Cachagua Island, home to a significant Chilean colony of Humboldt penguins.

During the 1-hour boat trip, we will observe the penguins and other coastal birds such as pelicans, seagulls, and neotropic cormorants. A variety of species have been catalogued in this area.

Upon returning to the dock in Zapallar, we will visit a local empanada place to enjoy this Chilean delicacy, accompanied by a drink (soda or mineral water). We will then head back to your hotel in Valparaíso, arriving at 3 pm.

Animal Sightings

Cachagua Island is an excellent location for observing Humboldt penguins. However, animal sightings are unpredictable and depend on factors such as weather conditions and breeding seasons of various species.
