OVERVIEW

Leave Ushuaia behind and travel into the spectacular landscapes of Tierra del Fuego, combining an exciting 4×4 ride with forest trekking, canoeing and a traditional Argentine lunch.

The experience begins along National Route 3, heading north past Cerro Castor and through the Fuegian Andes. Stops along the way include Carbajal Valley and Garibaldi Pass before the journey leaves the main road and enters the off-road circuit.

Travel across rugged trails and wet terrain until reaching the shores of Fagnano Lake, one of Tierra del Fuego’s most impressive lakes. The adventure then continues on foot through the native forest toward a refuge beside Escondido Lake.

At the refuge, enjoy an Argentine barbecue with appetizers, choripán, steak, roasted vegetables, dessert, wine and water. After lunch, head out onto Escondido Lake by canoe and enjoy the peaceful surroundings before returning to Ushuaia.
