Itinerary and highlights
We will pick you up from your hotel and drive through National Route N3.
Our first stop is in Tierra Mayor Valley.
We are going to cross The Andes Mountains, through Garibaldi Pass! There, we will be able to see our first target: Escondido Lake. After this, we are going to head to woodcutter trails that only the 4x4 allows us to reach, crossing sites like forest, mud and rocks.
Fagnano Lake will surprise us with its size and landscape. The guides will take the passengers through hidden trails in the forest of Ñires and Coihues, where it´s going to be possible to see a big variety of birds, red foxes, and beavers on their beaver dams.
This part of the journey ends at our refuge where a barbecue will be offered. While the meal is being prepared, you can walk around and discover the wilderness of the place.
On lunch time, we invite you to enjoy the delicious beef BBQ with the best wine we have. (vegetarian/celiac menu too) The meal includes: cold snack, typical Argentinian barbecue, drinks (wine, soda, coffee, tea) and salads. This is a time to relax and recover energies.
We return to Ushuaia by the national route N3 and drop you off at your hotel.
