Humboldt Penguin & Damas Island

We will pick you up at your hotel to leave La Serena towards the north, to Punta de Choros cove. That way we will get closer to visit the Humboldt Penguin Reserve & Damas Island. We will begin a boat trip to Choros Island where, without disembarking, we will have the possibility to identify the different birds’ species that inhabit there, like the Humboldt penguin, cormorants and pelicans, among others. In addition, we will see sea lions, chungungos and, if we are lucky enough, bottlenose dolphins.

After that, we will go to Damas Island, where you will see the white sand beaches and clear waters. After that, we will take our boat to begin the return to La Serena, have lunch and end our tour.
