Itinerary
After a morning pickup from your hotel in Ushuaia (shared service), you’ll head to Tierra del Fuego National Park.
About 7 miles away from the city, on the famous channel once sailed by Charles Darwin, we will get to Tierra del Fuego National Park (entrance fee not included).
During the summer season, we will walk along the coast or high pampa (we will hike one or another according to terrain and weather conditions, etc). For about 7 km (4.4 miles), spot the diverse flora and bird fauna of the Beagle Channel or the Fuegian forest, stop to contemplate the famous Beagle Channel on Ensenada Bay and enjoy beautiful views of Redonda, Hoste and Navarino islands as well as the remains of ancient Yámana settlements, natives of the area. During the winter season, you can decide to either walk along the wonderful Valley of Río Pipo or take the 'End of The World' train on a 1-hour long ride (Train ticket not included). The Shore Path remains closed during this season, so instead, we will continue by vehicle to Acigami Lake, Green Lagoon, Ovando River and Bahía Lapataia and take short hikes through the woods to discover its wonders, along paths normally covered with snow or ice.
After a 3-hour moderate hike (during summer), or an easy 2-hour hike (during winter), you’ll access Acigami Lake (also known as Roca Lake), and near to the border of Lapataia River, you’ll enjoy a comforting hot lunch with a great panoramic view from inside a heated dome-tent, to avoid wind or rain. Afterwards, all participants will be equipped. Start your exciting 1-hour paddle journey from the Acigami Lake down the freshwater of Lapataia river aboard inflatable canoes (duckies). Depending on the physical conditions of your group, you may reach the sea in Lapataia Bay (canoeing is subject to weather conditions).
At the end of the tour, you’ll be driven back to your hotel in Ushuaia. **Notes: The boats used are inflatable and they usually seat up to 9 people plus the guide. Schedules are estimated and may vary due to bad weather. Duration of the summer tour: 7/10 hours, trekking: 3 hours. Winter tour: 6/8 hours, trekking: short treks of no more than 90 minutes total. Canoeing difficulty: low

Fantastic day out. The trekking wasnt too strenous and the paddling was easy too, making it easy and enjoyable for all fitness levels. Be sure to pack waterproof clothes, because we got caught in the rain during the trekking and got soaked!! Our guide Berni made the day super enjoyable for everyone involved.
A not too strenuous day of paddling and hiking in Tierra del Fuego National Park including a very tasty lunch and wine.
This was an amazing experience! We had the best guide, Valentin, and we had a great hike and canoeing experience with spectacular views and a fabulous lunch.
This park is absolutely pristine. The hiking is more like walking, and an easy pace for most people. You go through stunning forests, pass by bays, and canoe through channels. It was a great way to experience the national forest. The guide, Valentin, was one of the most charming and engaging we have met. He made the group feel connected and the day fun. We had a delicious lunch mid-day. We were there in March and felt like we had the park to ourselves.
Our guide, Juan, was very enthusiastic and very engaging. The pace was relaxed, the lunch provided was exceptional and it was a great day trip.
Timely pickup from our hotel. Very nice hike through coastal trail at the Tierra del Fuego National Park. Hike was around 3.5 hours long. The vast majority is very light. The final segment is uphill with moderate difficulty. Hike was followed by delicious lunch in the company’s dome. After lunch we went rafting from the lake, down the river, and into Lapataia Bay. Our guide Facundo had excellent English and made the excursion a lot of fun. Recommended!
Went above any expectation that we've had, especially the rafting! The crew were awesome and knowledgeable, and the trip the planned and organized to the smallest resolution. Plus the food was on point,
Great rafting, tasty lunch, nice trek through forest and along beaches. Our guide even completed the experience by producing coffee (and teas) at a break point on the trek.
We did a similar tour, but with a shorter nature walk with a guide. A van took us to different places where we did a short hike each time and got explanations about the flora and the fauna. After that we had lunch in a dome like structure. In the afternoon we boarded rafts and went down the river to El fin de Mondo. Overall a nice day in the national park .
The whole day was perfect. Juan was a great guide, was so knowledgeable and made sure we all were enjoying ourselves. I would recommend this to anyone coming to this area on vacation
We spent about 1.5 hours rafting tothe hot lunch spot ... it was a beautiful day and our guide was great fun. Good hot lunch, then about 5 hours / 7 km hike along (well, up and down trails) the Beagle Channel with Kathy. She was really knowledgeable about the environment and great company. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel which was very convenient. Highly recommend this outing (about 10 hours door-to-door).
Great fun in a raft (2 couples and guide) down river and to the edge of the Beagle Channel. Hot lunch before a 7km (5 hour) hike (up and down, as well as along beach). Kathy was very knowledgeable about the history and environmental aspects.
Guides are great and super interactive. The booking says you will do the hike first and then canoeing, but it depends on other tours. We did our canoeing first, had lunch, then hiked. The chicken at lunch was a bit dry but other than that it was a very fun day
The hike was very challenging and rewarding. The whole family enjoyed the canoe trip. Our guide Martin was very friendly and knowledgeable. We also enjoyed Carlos's assistance.
The kindness of the guides and above all the landscapes made this tour incredible. I'm not a big fan of trekking but I loved this tour. It was also not too demanding which was good for me. We went through different landscapes from forest to sea and enjoyed some beautiful mountain views. The canoeing was also very enjoyable. I thought we might get wet at some point but luckily we didn't. The guides gave us enough time to take pictures and enjoy the important points of the tour so the day flew by quickly!
I am a little known and not famous tango dancer from the United States. Our Guiana Valentino had knowledge about flora, fauna, geographic, ecosystem and Tierra del Fuego. He was friendly and protected us from paparazzi. Face the park rangers and the Argentine army to give us the best experience! Excellent captain through freezing rain and unusual wind on a canola trip to Lapataia Bay! There is no better guide to the end of the world. I attest as surely as I speak only English! Long live Argentina! Long live the Americas! Thank you so much!
Muy amable la guía sin embargo. El 80% de ola excursión es caminar por senderos publicos no amerita pagar casi 200usd como me cobraron.
