Itinerary and highlights

We will leave the city of Ushuaia traveling along National Route No. 3 (Pan-American Route) towards the north of the island of Tierra del Fuego in the south portion of Patagonia, to access the Fuegian Andes (that goes from west to east in this area of Patagonia, instead north to south as in the rest of the continent) through valleys covered by peat bogs. During the tour, we will be able to observe the Carbajal, Tierra Mayor and Las Cotorras valleys and then reach the Garibaldi Pass (450 meters above sea level), crossing the Andes Mountains, with the beautiful view of the Escondido and Fagnano Lakes.

It´s one of the best activities available from Ushuaia. It´s a half-day trip, and a great experience to know the heart of Tierra del Fuego Island. It´s important to wear comfortable clothing as the weather can change suddenly. During the winter season, the excursions only go to Escondido Lakes. The area is very nice to practice winter sports as a nordic ski for example, in Tierra Mayor and Carbajal Valleys. For winter activities, check available information for Ushuaia.
