USHUAIA: INTO THE HEART OF THE ISLAND – 2 DAYS 1 NIGHT

Day 1: We leave Ushuaia heading east and towards the coast of the Beagle Channel, on one of our most active excursions in Tierra del Fuego. In a location removed from the areas saturated by tourism, during the first part of this day we will go rowing in canoes down the river to enter the Beagle Channel and, by sea, accompanied by the wind, reach a panoramic point of the Beagle Channel. We will arrive at Gable Island in a motor boat. We will continue the day with a hike in one of the wildest and most beautiful places of the Beagle Channel. We will also see penguins on a nearby island. On the way back from the estancia, we will change vehicles. The second part of the day takes us beyond the Cordillera de los Andes, through the forest and through Lake Fagnano. We will spend the night in our refuge located on the coast of this 100 km long lake, after a relaxed dinner by the fire in a magnificent environment. Day 2: We leave towards the lake Yehuin, behind the northern margin of Lake Fagnano. After a visit to Tolhuin we enter an area where it the change in the environment is noticeable: the steppe begins to prevail over the sub-Antarctic forest. In the area of estancias, we will see many birds and guanacos on our 3-hour walk in the Corazón de la Isla Provincial Park. We will have lunch near the source of the Indio River. In the afternoon, we will ascend the Cabras hill in a strong walk of almost 4 hours to see an intact and infinite landscape: fords, wetlands, beaver dams, lakes and lagoons, endless horizon and mountains. After the descent, we will return to Ushuaia towards the end of the afternoon. Families with children under 11 years of age can request a “Tailor Made Trip” based on this tour.
