Seno Otway

TIME : 2016/2/19 15:27:27

Seno Otway, with about 6000 breeding pairs of penguins, is located around an hour northwest of the city. Tours usually leave in the afternoon; however, visiting in the morning is best time of the day for photography because the birds are mostly backlit in the afternoon. Arrive via private vehicle or tour.

If driving independently, pay attention as you head north on Ruta 9 (RN 9) – it's easy to miss the small sign indicating the turn-off to the penguin colony. It's worth noting that it's close to the airport.
