The third day is left free for you to choose from a wide range of activities, including trekking to Laguna Esmeralda or Laguna Turquesa, sailing to penguin colonies, kayaking, or a full-day visit to Fagnano and Escondido Lakes.

OUR RECOMMENDATION
If you are planning to visit Ushuaia, I truly recommend spending at least three nights here. When I visited, I felt that this amount of time gave me the perfect balance between exploring and relaxing. The visit to Tierra del Fuego National Park was one of my highlights, especially reaching Lapataia Bay and realizing I was standing at the very end of the Pan-American Highway. Sailing the Beagle Channel was another unforgettable moment — watching the sea lions basking on the rocks and passing by the famous Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse felt magical. On my free day, I chose to hike to Laguna Esmeralda, and the contrast of the turquoise water against the mountains is something I’ll never forget. Ushuaia is not just about nature, though; the atmosphere of the city, the warmth of the people, and the sense of being truly at the “End of the World” make it a very special place. That’s why I always suggest giving yourself enough time to enjoy it without rushing.
