Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Punta Arenas - Ushuaia

Take the early morning bus from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia, Argentina (12 hours). On the way, cross the Straight of Magellan by ferry from the South American mainland to Tierra del Fuego. Located on the shore of the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world and the ideal starting point for our full-day discovery tours.

Day 2: Tierra del Fuego National Park and Beagle Channel

Join us for a tour to Tierra del Fuego National Park, the only national park in Argentina that combines the peaks of the Andes and the salty water of the sea. This half-day excursion takes you out of the city toward the slope of Monte Susana. Continue along Rio Pipo valley to Bahia Ensenada and discover the abundant native Fuegian flora and fauna on easy walks through temperate rainforests and along beautiful lakes. Observe the impact that beavers, introduced in the southern part of Tierra del Fuego in 1946 to establish a fur industry, have had on today's landscape. In the afternoon, sail by catamaran through the legendary Beagle Channel and visit the Bridges Archipelago, which is known for its large colonies of sea birds and sea lions.

Day 3: Tierra del Fuego by Land Rover and Canoe

Depart by Land Rover towards the interior of Tierra del Fuego to reach the Fuegian Andes through ancient forests and valleys covered by peat bogs. Cross the Andes at Garibaldi Pass at 1,434 feet/ 437 meters above sea level, enjoying a beautiful view over the Escondido and Fagnano Lakes. Here, your off-road adventure begins: all the way down to the northern side of the Fuegian mountains. The Land Rover takes you on an unforgettable ride through old forests, mud puddles and alongside the stony shore of Lago Fagnano. Later, enjoy a typical Fuegian lamb barbecue (vegetarian option available). In the afternoon, enjoy the quiet waters of Lago Escondido by canoe. Return to Ushuaia in the afternoon.
