Au delà de la faune unique présente sur l'ile, ce qui m'a réellement bluffé c'est de se dire qu'une civilisation a vécu sur place et dominé les lieux ! Le guide a vraiment su capter notre attention, merci à lui !

Les recomiendo visitar este lugar, el tour nos pareció espectacular! La fauna es increible y única, los pinguinos y lobos de mar son hermosos. La lancha estuvo cómoda y segura, te dan chaleco salvavidas. El mar, el cielo y los paisajes son imperdibles!
