Destination
Ushuaia, Argentina

Program details

With this combo you can enjoy two of the unmissable activities of Ushuaia: visit the Tierra del Fuego National Park and navigate the Beagle Channel



Tierra del Fuego National Park

The entrance to Tierra del Fuego National Park is 12 km far from Ushuaia. With a surface of 63.000 hectares, it contains many species of trees and bushes, such as firebushes, beech trees, ñires, box-leafed barberries, and flowers such as orchids, violets and another species. Doing this excursion we will be close to Nature. Following a road around the mountains we will see the peat bogs and the beaver dams before arriving at Lapataia River. Once we cross the river, we will have a nice view of Laguna Verde and the upland geese and ibis that come here every summer. We suggest you to take a long walk along a path up to Laguna Negra or the Beavers Path, to know the work of these curious animals. In Lapataia Bay (the end of the National Road N. 3) it is possible to see the area where the old inhabitants of the Island left their testimony: the Yamana kitchen, an interesting archeological place. Before returning to Ushuaia we are going to stop in front of Lago Roca, whose colour varies according to the weather conditions.



Channel Beagle Navigation

We leave Ushuaia by sailing the Beagle Channel waters, passing the Ushuaia Bay, the north cost of the channel, the archipiélago and the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, where it is possible to visit different sea bird nests, seals areas and several types of coastal and sea birds (petrels, albatrosses, cormorants, oyster catchers, etc). We will sail back to Ushuaia.
