OVERVIEW

A helicopter ride with a landing in the Andes offers an exhilarating experience in one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes.

The journey begins with the excitement of ascending over the rugged terrain of Tierra del Fuego. From above, you’ll see vast forests, winding rivers, and snow-capped peaks stretching endlessly into the distance.

As you approach the towering Andes, the landscape reveals its full grandeur. The pilot skillfully navigates through the valleys, offering close-up views of dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and crystal-clear alpine lakes. At a carefully selected landing spot, the helicopter touches down, allowing you to step out and savor the crisp mountain air.

Surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Andes, you’ll have time to explore, snap photos, and fully appreciate the tranquility of this remote wilderness. Whether you’re capturing the scenery or simply enjoying the peace, the experience offers a rare opportunity to connect with nature.

After soaking in the majestic views, you’ll board the helicopter for the return flight. As you soar back over Ushuaia, the memories of this incredible adventure will stay with you.

ITINERARY

Our adventure begins at our downtown office, where we’ll board our vehicles and head to the former Ushuaia airport. There, we’ll receive a safety briefing before taking off on an unforgettable helicopter journey.

We’ll ascend northward, flying over Ushuaia Bay, the port, and the city before gaining altitude to enter the Olivia River Valley. From above, we’ll be treated to views of the majestic Mount Olivia and the distinctive Five Brothers Mountain. Continuing on, we’ll reach the stunning Carbajal Valley, shaped by ancient glaciers and covered with expansive peatlands. As we fly deeper into the valley, the breathtaking Emerald Lagoon comes into view, a vibrant turquoise lake nestled among the mountains—one of Ushuaia’s most iconic natural attractions.

Heading south, we’ll cross the Andes through the Encajonado River Valley and approach the Beagle Channel. Soon after, we’ll land at the summit of Cerro Le’Cloche, where we can step out and take in the awe-inspiring scenery. From this vantage point, the Beagle Channel and the Andes Mountains unfold before us, with Ushuaia spread out below—an ideal spot for unforgettable photos.

After soaking in the spectacular views, we’ll board the helicopter for our return flight, touching down back at the heliport, where a transfer will take us back.
