Pinguineras can be reached by the public bus Mar Brava, it's leaving from the garage at 6:45 am and 11:45 am and returning at 1 pm and 5 pm. At the low tide it's possible to cross knee-deep water to the nearest penguin site; please keep the distance!Be sure to take the Penguin tour one in the morning at 10AM and another in the afternoon at 3PM. Excellent 3-4 hour expedition that includes historical information, scenic stops, and 30 minutes in a zodiac cruising between penguin islands and seeing sea otters, cormorants, and other wildlife with a German volunteer guide.From the Penguin Station ask your guide to show your the way to Pummillahue, an hour or so trek to the beautiful Pumillahue bay. It is part of the caldera of an ancient volcano. On the southern side of the bay petrified carbonized trunks can be seen. Also the sea washes a myriad of pebbles of all kinds and colors onto the shore, brought by the glaciers that one time covered the Island. You won't resist collecting some!Worth the visit, bring a picnic.
