ITINERARY

Our adventure begins at our downtown office, where we’ll board our vehicles and head to the former Ushuaia airport. After a brief safety briefing, we’ll board the helicopters for a spectacular flight.

Taking off toward the north, we’ll soar over Ushuaia Bay, the bustling port, and the city before ascending into the Olivia River Valley. From above, we’ll enjoy views of the towering Mount Olivia and the iconic Five Brothers Mountain.

Continuing on, the magnificent Carbajal Valley unfolds, its landscape shaped by glaciers over millennia, with vast peatlands stretching out below. As we fly deeper into the valley, we’ll reach the breathtaking Emerald Lagoon, renowned for its striking turquoise color. Surrounded by rugged mountains, this serene natural beauty is a favorite spot for nature lovers, trekkers, and campers alike.

After soaking in the views, we’ll return to the heliport, where a transfer will take us back.
