It is a charming bay of the Beagle Channel, combining forest, mountain and sea. Lapataia Bay is the last kilometer of the Pan American route (and Route N°3) that runs from Alaska to the southern tip of this national park representing the arrival at the End of the World.
Also known as Acigami Glacier Lake (Roca), one of the most unforgettable postcards in Tierra del Fuego. We will walk its coast and here you can directly see the political division of the island, as it crosses the meridian that separates us from the neighboring country Chile.
In Bahia Ensenada Zaratiegui you can appreciate that combination of environments that makes this national park, the Andes, the forest and the sea unique in one place. There also works the famous End of the World Mail where, if it were open, they can stamp their passport or send a postcard from the End of the World.
We arrive at the Station of the End of the World, where they will take the ride on the old Prisoners Train, today converted into a tourist train that recovers part of the history of the origins of Ushuaia.
***IMPORTANT*** In winter season the tour is modified by being closed the Bay Ensenada and some paths within the Park product of the snow
A very good day. Well organised, punctual, flexible, informative and just about enough time at each stop in the national park. Leila is a brilliant guide; she's witty, she's got humour, she knows a lot about the park and she speaks very good English. A day very well worth the money 🙂
The company contacted us with timely updates on What’s App which made setup and pickup very smooth. Our guide, Layla, was friendly and made sure everyone in our group was good with walks and stops. Layla shared a lot of information about Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, the indigenous animals, animals introduced for their fur, and the plants. She provided historic details and taught us some local words and meanings. We thoroughly enjoyed her commentary. We also took the train ride. One time was ok. We listened to history about the train and prison on the ride. As others have said, once is enough. We had several stops for a bathroom or snack. The park has incredible views of the Andes mtns. I would definitely recommend. We were picked up at 2 pm and delivered to our hotel by 7:30. Loved every minute of it.
The guide was very knowledgeable and communicated very well in both languages. It was well organized and a great way to spend some time in the area
Wonderful experience! A highlight for your ushuia trip for sure
Josefine did a fantastic job! It’s always such a pleasure to explore a place with someone who genuinely loves it and has so much knowledge and enthusiasm to share. Her passion made the whole experience even more special. We were a small group with both Spanish- and English-speaking guests, and Josefine made sure everyone felt equally included and respected. She gave everyone the same attention and made the tour enjoyable for all of us. A lovely experience in Tierra del Fuego National Park. Highly recommended!
Very efficient tour guide with great knowledge and skills Impressed by their punctuality Really impressed
A nice small group experience and worth the money. It was nice to just have 9 of us in a Sprinter van. They picked us up directly at our hotel. Communication via WhatsApp was prompt and efficient. Our guide (Aluhe) was EXCELLENT. Excellent English with an easy to understand accent. She gave us information almost nonstop about local history, the types of plants, etc. in addition to her prepared remarks she was able to give detailed answers to questions. Driver was very careful & professional. Van was very clean and well kept. The only caveat is I think they must sell it with or without the train pre-paid. Remember what you bought because you will get a text to buy your park entrance tickets online and when you do that get the cheaper one with entrance only (no train) if you booked the one that has train included. Oopsie.
We had a blast touring Tierra del Fuego National Park with Explore Tierra del Fuego. Both the guide and the driver, Leila and Gonzalo, were fun, kind, warm and knowledgeable. This was our best tour experience during our very long trip through Argentina.
Great experience. Leila and Gus were fantastic and the National Park is a worth a visit. even the 5 kph train.
So fun! Train ride was fun and informative. Our guide, Emanuel, was very professional, was a wealth of knowledge and brought us to interesting places in the park!Pan-American highway, Post office at end of the wotkd. Emanuel knows a great deal about Patagonia and shared a bunch of information that made not only the tour, but our while trip even more meaningful. The tour company proactively reached out before and after the tour to make sure it met our expectations!
Franco made my Ushuaia morning incredible for an older solo traveler! Our small group started out early so we could get on the first train. Once in the park, he took us on great trails to see all the amazing locations, providing details of everything we encountered. There were a few slippery areas on the trails, and he made sure I was safe and protected when things got tough. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour or guide!
The tour guide and driver were nice and punctual, but the national park itself is a bit boring. The fin del mundo train was relatively tasteless yet painful to discard, the view from the train was just fair, and maybe what was more interesting was the introduction to the history of the island previously utilized as a prison.
Great way to explore the Tierra Del Fuego National Park! Train ride was also a fun way of learning about the history of the area and the prison that once existed. Short easy hikes! Definitely recommend it!
The combination of train ride and continued bus tour into the national park was excellent. We were the only English speaking people on the tour but the guide made sure that you fully interacted with us. It was great going in the snowy weather.
Our tour was fantastic. Lucas was an amazing guide. He was very friendly and shared important and interesting information about Patagonia. Our driver, Marcello was not only an excellent driver but also very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Our trip happened in snow and, although the weather meant we could 't see all the scenary it was still great with the snow lying everywhere. Good amount of time at each stop, great guide Leila.
I was picked me up on time by Emanuel who was our guide so he did a great job explaining our agenda and information on the park. All of us rode the train and he was waiting for us on the other end. It was enjoyable day. Thanks so much Pawn
This is an incredible trip. Amazing scenery. The guide Leila was very knowledgeable, friendly and fluent in 3 languages. This trip is highly recommended
We had to delay our tour by two days on short notice and were able to do this with no hassle whatsoever. The tour itself went like clock work. Our guide -Leila - was across everything that was put to her, and was genuinely passionate about making sure we enjoyed ourselves.
everything is perfect, especially at that day I was only person who speak English but the guide to is so patient and game me explanation of everything. 一个人去玩的，导游讲解得很好，整个团人也不太多，基本上15个以内，整体体验都不错。不想自己做太多攻略的，可以无脑冲
From the start of the tour it was very well organised. I was the only English speaking person and was informed and included 100% by our guide. We saw attic fox and a woodpecker as well as amazing scenery. Thanks Layla. Your kiwi amigo
Very nice experience, great guide and driver, amazing place and tour!
Great views and the guide really helped us to understand the history of both the site, and Argentina’s in general, as well as the nature along the park. Really well versed and charismatic. I greatly recommend!
We had a great time, we got great information and it was very entertaining, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly overall a great experience.
The park visit was incredible, and I absolutely loved our guide Romina and the whole organisation, so it was totally worth the money and I absolutely enjoyed the experience ❤️ the train was the cherry on top but it is also important to highlight that we had various stops inside the park which I think was incredible.
The tour guides are great and super knowledgeable! They make sure you are always taken care of, and are sure to point out everything you should see.
Everyone was so friendly and made this experience so wonderful! Plus, I learned so many new things about the park and nature!
This has to be a must do when visiting Tierra del Fuego. From on time collection this morning and driven comfortably to the wee train. The train journey gives you great history about the area and beautiful scenery. Then from there further into the National Park. Breathtaking scenery and we had perfect weather. Also our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very professional.
The tour was well organized, our guide and driver were courteous and articulate, and we enjoyed seeing so much of the park.
Great tour guide and driver! Friendly and informative! We appreciated the local perspective on the areas we visited and how knowledgeable both of them were! I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone.
Great way to see parts of Ushuaia and the National Park. We stopped at several places in the National Park and the views were good. It was a cloudy, foggy day so scenery wasn't too good,but nonetheless it was pretty. Train ride was good, but seating is tight. Saw wild horses and the rushing river along the way. The one stop you have ample time to walk around. There's a waterfall up stairs but we decided not to go up there. The prisoners there want to sell you the picture you took at the start of the ride. Overpriced and quality wasn't good either.
Guide was great. Wish I could have hiked longer at each stop but understand the timing they gave. Loved the park wish I could go back. The train was okay.
Great day out! All went so smoothly! Luciano (sp)? Was a great guide and his English and easy going manner were great!
The trip was wonderful with a couple of stops and hikes to amazing viewpoints for some great photographic opportunities. Our guide with Explore, Mylenia, was very friendly, informative and helpful. I can’t say enough about her. She was well organized and even provided hot chocolate coupons for all of us at the end of the trip. The train ride was a little too “Disneyworld” for my taste. It was cramped and did not provide any spectacular sites or viewpoints. Also it was annoying if you were seated facing backwards. I couldn’t wait for that part to be over. That being said kids will LOVE it.
Very nice tour with short hikes and beautiful scenery. Train ride was cramped and very touristy. Our guide, Juan, was very good.
We really enjoyed this trip. It was easy to book and was well-organised, with clear communication at every stage. Our guide and driver were very friendly and professional. Juanse, our guide, provided lots of information and explanations about the National Park's history, flora and fauna. We saw a couple of majestic birds close up. The walk through the forest was magical, the scenery just beautiful. The Fin del Mundo train is a bit touristy, but its history is interesting and is narrated over headphones on the train. The waterfall is not spectacular, but it is very pretty if you walk up the steps to the upper level through the trees. It was altogether a lovely experience.
The guide did a good job of describing where we were and what the significance of the place was. We felt, however, that the tour became a”I was there” tour. If you are there, it is worth doing.
Hello, I had a good experience with the tour of Tierra del Fuego on Sat Mar 7th. Our guide Juan Sebastien (if I recall his name correctly) was very good, organized and knowledgeable. The weather was sunny and we had a good walk and hike to all the key points as advertised including the train ride which was a nice bonus. Thanks Tim
If you have limited time in Ushuaia, this is a good tour on which to see some of the Park, and to experience the train. Sebastian was a great guide, ensuring that both his Spanish and English clients received equal attention. Would recommend.
Javi was the driver and Nahuel was the guide. I included the train and recommend you do the same. Excellent comms on whatsapp the night before with links to grab a ticket for the national park ... or said you could pay when you collected your train ticket. Prompt pickup at my hotel at 8am in the long wheel base Sprinter van which was very comfortable. Trip finished around 2pm with either a dropoff back at the hotel or downtown. Nahuel was very knowledgeable, spoke in Spanish and English. I enjoyed the train, the Park and 20 min easy walk to the lake. I highly recommend this trip if you are short on time in Ushuaia.
This was a brilliant tour which included a ride on the end of the world train and then a visit to the main sights in the national park. It lasted from 2 pm to about 7:45 pm. National park tickets are extra. Our guide Franco was excellent and did the tour in both English and Spanish. We were picked up from our hotel and then in a group of 11 we travelled about 30 mins to the train station. There is a cafe there and we had about 20 mins before our train left. It goes very slowly and stopped once en route to see a beautiful waterfall and buy photos that were taken with the prisoners at the station. There are headphones in lots of languages that explain the history. At the second stop we were picked up by our minibus and were taken to about 4 main sights in the national park. We saw wild horses and the scenery was stunning and we did 3 short hikes (25-30 mins). You also have the option of staying on the minibus if you don’t want to walk. Just a note that the end of the world post office has been shut for 2 years due to safety reasons but you can still see it outside and take photos. Also, toilets are plentiful throughout the tour. There is no food or drink served so you may wish to take some with you or buy at the station. A really great day out.
Wonderful trip and train ride. My guide, Lucas, was amazing, handling every detail and keeping us well informed.
The tour provided a great experience of the National Park particularly having a guide who was able to provide commentary in English, Spanish and Italian for the various people in the group. This was enjoyable with it only being a small group and not crowded. The 5 hours was sufficient to see the sites and do the train ride. The train was very good, we were fortunate that it wasn’t a busy day so we had plenty of room on the train. The audio on the train provided the history which was interesting.
Great trip to the park. We had a great guide and it was a very enjoyable day. The reason for the 4 stars was a bit of the confusion with buying the park pass ahead of time and others were able to buy the day of the tour at the park. More stress than needed to get the park pass before the tour otherwise a good day.
We had a brilliant time on this trip- while we sadly did not have good weather which limited the views- the guide was lovely, she was so knowledgable and friendly, it was great to learn so much about the area. The train ride was touristy, but still enjoyed it.
Well organised tour, I booked before I left home. The company was in touch with me beforehand to arrange pick from the hotel, and quickly answered when I contacted them with a question. The tour itself covered both the End of the World train ride (1 hour with a stop and an audio guide), and visiting various places in the National Park for photo stops short walks.
The train ride was NOT worth the time or, money. Very Cramped seating, a view of a valley. Long wait to board, tiny cabin very slow and too long. The bathroom was primitive. And the park entry fee was not covered, extra $21.00.
Very enjoyable trip and very well organised by our guide Mariela. Others my say to do this tour by hiring a car, which can be done, but an organised tour like this takes away any hassles and provides employment for local people, so we highly recommend it.
Beautiful trip with a nice tour guide. My only complaint was that it felt too rushed, as if we were in a race. We go to all these beautiful places for what felt like seconds and then hustled onto the next site to see without fully enjoying the destinations. Besides that it was a nice excursion.
Great time. Learned quite a bit today. Guide was very informative. Took the time to answer all questions. I would do it again.
