The most amazing experience for us! The start of the trip was with the moon and the sun together, exploring the most hidden beautiful spots through the trip, cozy coffee cup by the lake view, scenic rides and photo spots by lakes, mountains, wild life , forest, plants and even saw beaver dam. Gabriel was the best guide for us! We enjoyed hiking by waterfall, lunch experience with top cooking dishes of soup, muscles and king crabs! Our son had chicken soup, meatballs and the best roast beef . We even met many local dogs which my son enjoyed. And at the last minute agency and Gabriel were able to help us to coordinate trip to the island to see penguins which was the only missing travel plan. We accomplished it all in one sunny, amazing day with great guide! Thanks for such experience! Highly recommend!

Itinerary
From the main office we begin the tour of the hotels.
Country breakfast! After traveling National Route 3, at 35km we will have the intersection with Provincial Route J, which will take us for another 40km through the forest and accompanied at all times by the Lasifahsaj River. Our destination: Laguna Victoria. From that, we are going to have our country breakfast here, in an ancestral place, full of the history of our indigenous peoples. This lagoon that freezes in winter, and throughout the year it is an excellent natural site.
We will descend at this panoramic point to be able to contemplate the beauties of the surroundings, nature, and the energy of the ancestral environment we will be traversing. Ideal spot for panoramic photos or simply enjoying the peace of the natural environment.
The Centolla Route is one of the most interesting and captivating circuits on the planet, given the combination of exquisite dishes made from fresh seafood and king crab, with dazzling landscapes, where the forest penetrates the Beagle Channel in an exciting and whimsical way. Puerto Almanza is a small fishing village located on the east coast of the Beagle Channel, 75 km from the city of Ushuaia. The name of the place comes from a sawmill that operated in the area between 40 and 50. Upon arriving at the town, we are going to walk and contemplate the beauties of the place. We will get to know the local port and the cannons that were installed in front of Puerto Williams. Then we will start to travel the Centolla Route, until we reach our descent point to begin a beautiful hike.
We will have the opportunity to see one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Tierra del Fuego, from a trail for all public, in the middle of the river and the lenga forest. Unmissable walk for the whole family and friends.
From the sea to the table! After our walk, lunch will be waiting for us at one of the most picturesque restaurants in Puerto Almanza, in front of the port, along the Beagle Channel, with the best views in the area. Now you can taste the Fuegian Centolla in any of its versions, accompanied by fresh seafood and fish, obtained artisanally in the canal. Three-course menus are offered at the restaurant, already included in the experience, based on local fish and lobster included in the menu. If you want, you can also have the whole centolla served on the plate for an extra cost. The best part of the gastronomic experience is that you can enjoy the anecdotes and personalized attention of the owners themselves, who are local artisanal fishermen.
Let's go to the Flag Tree! One of the most beautiful sites on the route we travel is the "Flag Tree," characteristic of the area, since they grow modeling their development according to the region's wind. Here we can take photos of the famous tree, and enjoy the best panoramic photos of the islets, as well as the Beagle Channel and Chilean Islands.
Return to the town of Ushuaia. We will leave all travelers at their accommodation.

The concept of the trip is good however the description and reality don't completely meet. The first HUGE disappointment was lunch. The crab was not fresh but had been frozen, dried out and completely unedible. As described the lunch includes wine, but be aware they alow one bottle for 6 guests. There was no breakfast as described, but we did have hot chocolate at a lovely lake later in the day. The hike is in a very pretty setting but be aware that there are many tree roots to navigate around, boards missing from trail bridges and some tricky slopes. 2 of the five on our trip finished the trail. We enjoyed our guide, who was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The scenery was lovely. After working with the tour company we were issued partial refunds, and appreciate them working with us.
Very beautiful place I will return more times
Unforgettable experience with everything

Very nice excursion!!! Excellent scenery and very friendly group. Luis, a genius!!!. The food of Araceli from Yataiten delicious!!!. Super recommended!!
We went to Puerto Almanza, throughout the way and the stops we were very well accompanied by Luis the guide and driver, who told everything about the place, forests, indigenous animals and history of the place. It gave us enough time to enjoy the scenery throughout the excursion. They were punctual and very friendly. Luis gave us with simplicity and kindness an excellent day!
Beautiful excursion, we had a dream day to see all the landscapes. Luis very friendly and charismatic as well as super didactic with the explanations. The impeccable food, the different steps one better than the other, the fantastic sparkler and the very delicious wine.
I had a great experience. Comfortable and clean car, helpful guide and patient with our language. It took us safely, we had a snack in the forest with nice time to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful landscapes. Spectacular lunch with the famous Cetolla and the wine made all the difference. Thank you and indicate.

And don't miss the chocolate with crescents, Luis' specialty! Thank you all for an unforgettable day
We did the excursion Ruta de la Centolla with Kaitek Viajes and it was an unforgettable experience. The Penguin Sighting in Isla Martillo was wonderful and one of the most special moments of the trip. The centolla was delicious and the whole tour was very well organized. We want to highlight Luis, our guide, for his knowledge and passion in explaining each place. Also thank you for Sol's excellent attention, always attentive and very friendly. An excursion highly recommended for those visiting Ushuaia.
Excellent service, very nice tour, lots to enjoy Highlighted the kindness and professionalism of Luis our driver We spent an unforgettable day, which left us wanting to visit these places again
A day to remember, an excursion that takes in all aspects: a route that impresses by its beauty, places with landscapes that are engraved on the retina, a picnic surrounded by nature, a 5-star lunch in a place with a very warm atmosphere and personalized attention and a trekking through a dream forest. And a special mention to Luis, the driver, who with his responsibility, experience, empathy and good humor made this experience spectacular!
Very Enjoyed, Beautiful Places and Warm Mood with Guides, Antonio, Gabriel and Julio. Very natural, a recommended experience.
Unbelievable, the tour is unmissable in Ushuaia, the delicious food. Very recommendable, only in the restaurant they prepare the gratin centollon, do not expect to be served the centollon or the full centollon, but you can always go and look when the fishermen return with the fresh fish and see them, touch them.
If you thought Ushuaia was the end of the world, wait for this tour. Kaitek takes you even further on this tour to Lake Victoria, the flag tree, the goblin waterfall to top off with a delicious spritz in Puerto Almanza. It is essential to take advantage of the opportunity if you are near this far corner of the earth.
Una vergüenza. La peor excursión que hice en mi vida. Nada de lo descripto se cumplió. Supuestamente, teníamos varias paradas, un snack, un trekking, y hacíamos la ruta de la centolla. No tuvimos nada de la ruta de la centolla. Nos sentaron en el hotel, paramos en un par de castoreras (no era para eso la excursión), en una bahía solitaria, no hubo paradas para el snack ni para baños, no hubo guía, 8ellos hablan de chofer-guía, pero cobran lo suficiente para poner guías profesionales) no hubo ruta de centolla. Bajamos en un restaurante, nos cobraron el vino (en viator dice que está incluido). Pagamos 37500 pesos arg para encerrarnos en una 4x4 todo el día. Lo único rescatable fue la onda que le puso la gente del zodiac que se acercó a la pingüinera. Desde la oficina, justifican que el legal el chofer guía. Más de 100 dólares por nada.
Excelente excursión!!! Un placer disfrutar de la guía de Lucas de Kaitek Muy didáctico e instruído, mostrando mucho conocimiento de Ushuaia,su historia y su cultura pero sobre todo trasmitiendo amor por lo que hace y siempre atendiendo los intereses del viajero
