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.
***IMPORTANT*** In winter season the tour is modified by being closed the Bay Ensenada and some paths within the Park product of the snow
The tour was great, very informative and we got to see all the main parts of the national park. Our guide, Sebastian, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Would highly recommend
Beautiful park. The mountains started appearing as morning went on. Great for all ages. The Easy pick up and return. Dillon, the driver, and Juan, our guide, were excellent. Juan knew a lot about flora and fauna! Can only do the train at the end of the world here, but might want to spend the hour hiking instead. Does cover history of Ushuaia and how it was developed by hard work of the prisoners. The scenery is forest and meadows, yet there is a great stopover with a waterfall and mountain. Overall, a lovely day.
Great way to get a taste of the national park and learn about the richness of Ushuaia! This is different from other guided trips where talk tracks feel scripted and dull or stops feel rushed. The guide we had was very engaging, great at storytelling and clearly passionate about Ushuaia and the environment. And given the smaller group size (not a bus), it felt like it was just a conversation with laughter along the way (not a lecture, etc). It started out with intentionally going to a part of the park where there wasn’t anyone else which was nice. Then, we went bopping around to other parts of the park and had free time at some stops to roam around. Opted to skip the train ride to spend more time walking in the park which was very enjoyable. If you want to learn about the history of the prison, etc. then maybe the train ride is for you. Would recommend picking based on what you prefer. Overall, it was a seamless experience and great for all fitness levels. The guide had great language proficiency and made sure to interact with everyone. It was a blast! Left in awe of the beautiful breath of the geographical diversity. Highly recommend doing this with this tour company vs others!
Good introduction to the National Park - not a lot of walking. Guide was good as well as the driver.
This was the worst experience we have ever had with any company anywhere in the world. We first saw the company through "Get Your Guide" and then contacted them through What'sApp. They were responsive and helpful. We reserved a spot for a tour today, and they explained that we could pay in advance or pay by credit card in the morning when we show up. (I've attached a copy of the WhatsApp messages.) We showed up at 7:45, as requested, and were greeted by a woman who told us that since we didn't pay, we didn't have a reservation, and they were fully booked. She admitted that she saw the WhatsApp messages, but said she didn't know why her "partner" promised us spots since they require funds in order to secure a reservation. We then asked what could be done, and she played with her computer, ignoring us. After 15 minutes of this, we asked what she was doing, and she said she was trying to find us spots in a "tour leaving at 10 or 11." We had to be back at our ship by 3, so this idea was not possible (not that she ever communicated or cleared this with us). So - (1) they promised something that they did not deliver; (2) they ignored us and let precious time slip away (who knows how much longer she would continue typing away at her computer and not speaking to us unless we asked what was going on); and (3) they did not come up with a single way to redress the situation. We left the company's storefront without any idea of how to spend our day. (We ended up having quite a great experience for a lot cheaper from someone we found at the pier.)
We had a great tour of Tierra del Fuego. Communication with the Explore team prior to the tour was clear (as I needed to make sure we would be back on time for another tour). Our guide whose name started with an M (unfortunately forgot her first name) was lovely - very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. It was nice seeing the beautiful landscapes and was overall very smooth and organized. I would highly recommend!
A truly amazing experience for this part of the world. Juan-se and Dilan were very knowledgeable and were perfect guides. They knew much about the local culture and history of Tierra Del Fuego from the flora and fauna to the indigenous people. The views from the short hikes we did were beautiful and it was the perfect amount of time. The train was fine but the highlight is for sure the guided tour and the tour guides themselves.
The tour guide was really helpful, the transport was perfect and we learnt a lot about the national parc. We did also the train trip part with the little guided walks.
Excellent. We visited beautiful places and the experience was unforgettable. Our guide was very professional, kind and was explaining all the time the important facts and history for each place visited.
Franco was amazing. He is very knowledgeable and polite. He was on time and made the day perfect. The tour itself was excellent and the park visit was great. Highly recommend.
Our guide and driver were very nice, funny, and quite informative! Our trip went without issue and the guide made sure it was fit for everyone, especially since we had retired people and a 4 and 6 year old so the range in ages was large. Great recommendations and both Spanish and English were perfect. Could not suggest this trip and company any more highly!!!
We had a great time on the tour. At first I was wondering whether we should pay for a tour or just try to find a hike in Tierra Del Fuego, but I’m so glad we opted for this tour. We did the train ride, which while slow, allows you to enjoy the scenery and the operators were all enjoyable and friendly. After the train, we were able to see several different parts of the park and learn so much from our guide, Lucas. It was a small group and we all got to know each other a bit which made it enjoyable as well. Overall it was a great experience that I would highly recommend!
Excellent everything. Very attentive. People who add a lot to your experience.
They picked me up at the hotel and we went to the park as a group. The landscapes are amazing, you breathe peace in every corner and it is really worth touring, we did several circuits. Our guide Lucas, was super friendly, attentive at all times and explained every detail in a clear and interesting way, answering our queries. Undoubtedly, an excursion I recommend for anyone who wants to connect with nature and enjoy an unforgettable day.
Excellent organization the park has unspoilt nature and protected with beautiful landscapes.our guide Lucas very cheerful and friendly. Recommended this exploration of virgin land
An extraordinary experience. The Explore team do an excellent job. I wouldn't hesitate to come back. The kindness of people and punctuality.
In order to have the opportunity to see as much of Tierra Del Fuego as possible, I decided to go there with Explore Tierra Del Fuego and it was a great experience! I was fortunate to have Lucas as my guide and not only does he speak French very well, he is full of anecdotes and stories about Ushuaia and the Land of Fire. We feel that he is at home and really wants to share with us. I didn’t take the train but it allowed me to go for an hour with Lucas and have even more information!
Great, Tour, Deborah took her time for everything and was very friendly. I recommend them. It was a family tour and we saw many beautiful things!
