Itinerary
1
Ushuaia
After a morning pickup from your hotel in Ushuaia (shared service), you’ll head to Tierra del Fuego National Park.
Duration: 30 minutes
2
Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego
About 7 miles away from the city, on the famous channel once sailed by Charles Darwin, we will get to Tierra del Fuego National Park (entrance fee not included).
Duration: 6 hours
3
During the summer season, we will walk along the coast or high pampa (we will hike one or another according to terrain and weather conditions, etc). For about 7 km (4.4 miles), spot the diverse flora and bird fauna of the Beagle Channel or the Fuegian forest, stop to contemplate the famous Beagle Channel on Ensenada Bay and enjoy beautiful views of Redonda, Hoste and Navarino islands as well as the remains of ancient Yámana settlements, natives of the area.
During the winter season, you can decide to either walk along the wonderful Valley of Río Pipo or take the 'End of The World' train on a 1-hour long ride (Train ticket not included). The Shore Path remains closed during this season, so instead, we will continue by vehicle to Acigami Lake, Green Lagoon, Ovando River and Bahía Lapataia and take short hikes through the woods to discover its wonders, along paths normally covered with snow or ice.
Duration: 3 hours
4
Lago Roca
After a 3-hour moderate hike (during summer), or an easy 2-hour hike (during winter), you’ll access Acigami Lake (also known as Roca Lake), and near to the border of Lapataia River, you’ll enjoy a comforting hot lunch with a great panoramic view from inside a heated dome-tent, to avoid wind or rain.
Afterwards, all participants will be equipped. Start your exciting 1-hour paddle journey from the Acigami Lake down the freshwater of Lapataia river aboard inflatable canoes (duckies). Depending on the physical conditions of your group, you may reach the sea in Lapataia Bay (canoeing is subject to weather conditions).
Duration: 3 hours
5
At the end of the tour, you’ll be driven back to your hotel in Ushuaia.
