Explore Tierra del Fuego

Welcome to the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia. The city is situated on the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego on the Beagle Channel and is the main port for Antarctic bound vessels.

Today is an arrival day and you are free to explore. The city has a number of activities and attractions including the Maritime & the Prison of Ushuaia Museum, a cruise on the Beagle Channel to Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse (the southernmost lighthouse in the world) and a monument to the Falklands Islands war in Plaza Malvinas.

As you set out from Ushuaia in the morning, you embark on a three-day adventure, immersing yourself in the breathtaking landscapes and savoring the finest dishes of Tierra del Fuego.

Your journey begins with a trip to the heart of the island, exploring the Escondido Lake and Fagnano Lake regions in a 4x4 vehicle. Afterward, you retreat to our lodge nestled on the shores of Lago Escondido, where a traditional barbecue awaits. Featuring locally sourced meats cooked over Lenga and Guindo logs—two emblematic trees of the region—you dine together, accompanied by a glass of Patagonia Malbec and a delightful dessert, marking the start of your culinary journey.

Following a canoe excursion on the lake, you continue your voyage to Tolhuin, where you'll spend the next 2 nights at a local inn.

Today you embark on the next leg of your adventure, heading north on the island. Your first stop is Estancia Rolito, a charming farm steeped in sheep farming tradition and renowned as a pioneer in rural tourism. Learn about the rich history of the estate.

Continuing your journey, you trek along paths frequented by guanacos, who gracefully accompany you. Your destination is the summit of San Pablo Cape, where you visit the lighthouse constructed in 1945 and subsequently destroyed by an earthquake in 1949.

After this exploration, you venture to Desdemona, a shipwrecked vessel since 1985 resting on the coast. Lunch awaits you in a quaint fishing village, where locals use traditional techniques to catch bass, salmon, silverside, and octopus. As you savor the fresh seafood, you immerse yourself in the unique way of life of the area's inhabitants.

Set out on another delightful adventure in the area. Arriving at Brown Bay, you take a detour to marvel at the famous flag trees, shaped by the relentless southwest winds of the area. After soaking in the scenery, you continue your drive towards Puerto Almanza, the main port for artisanal fishermen renowned for their spider crab catches. A few kilometers beyond Puerto Almanza, you arrive at the home of one of the region's most esteemed fisherwomen. Here, you embark on a culinary journey as she guides you through the preparation and tasting of various dishes sourced from the remarkable Beagle Channel. This gastronomic experience promises to be a memorable social gathering, leaving an indelible mark on your heart.

After lunch, you make your way back to Ushuaia, concluding this special and unique exploration of our region.
