Ushuaia, Ushuaia, Argentina In the morning we will pick you up from your hotel to start our excursion.
Paso Garibaldi, Rio Grande, Argentina We are going to take the famous route 3 that runs through part of the Cordillera Fueguina, which allows us to access to the Paso Garibaldi. From here, we will see Escondido and Fagnano Lake. 15 minutes
Lago Fagnano, Tolhuin, Argentina We will start the descent, leaving the conventional route to follow the old tracks of the woodcutters. The 4x4 trucks will help us with this expedition, reaching places where access would be impossible otherwise. We will cross forests, following paths of mud, stones, and overcoming different challenges in our way. Finally, we will arrive at Fagnano Lake, which will surprise us with its size and the incredible landscape that surrounds it.
There, we are going to have a stop at that lake where we will enjoy a delicious local asado. While the guides prepare lunch, we can make a walk around the area to explore the forest and the beavers that are part of the local landscape nowadays.
After lunch, we will continue with this adventure but this time using a route to get to Escondido Lake. 180 minutes
Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego Province, Argentina This lake is smaller than the other but it will still surprise us with its unique natural environment.
If we choose this tour during the summer, we can go canoeing on the Escondido Lake. First we will have an introductory talk with our guides, prepare the canoes and finally paddle around the lake for 45 minutes. We will enjoy the area landscape in a different way.
But if you choose it during winter, we will have lunch in a winter shelter and while it is being prepared, we can walk around or have fun on the sledding track. After lunch, we will visit the Tierra Mayor Winter Center, where we will have time to explore the area and make extra activities such as snowmobiles, husky sleds, skiing or ice-skating. Also, if you wish, you can stay in the warm hosteria contemplating the incredible Nevado Valley. 180 minutes
Ushuaia, Ushuaia, Argentina After canoeing (in summer) or having fun at the winter center (in winter) , we will return to the point where the vans were left to return to Ushuaia along National Route 3.

Nice off-road tour into the interior of Tierra del Fuego! It was cool to drive next to and into the edge of the big lake. Lunch was also terrific.

Fizemos o passeio com a agencia Brasileiros em Ushuaia. Foi muito bom, adoramos todo o percurso, atenção do guia (motorista). Ideal para quem gosta de aventura tranquila. Valeu o passeio.

Viator booked with the worst rated company in Ushuaia to provide our tour. The tour included canoeing which we did not book and were not prepared for. We booked 4x4 with lunch by the lake, that is not what we received. We didn’t receive lunch - no food, no water, no options to leave the tour. We were abandoned on private property for over an hour with no cell service. The tour operator told us he hated Americans and then gave us the symbol for cutting your neck as the other 4x4 tried to hit us twice. The driver jumped out of the moving truck to make a “joke”, we were finally offered lunch at 4:00pm at a dog sledding place that was full of animal cruelty and like they were cooking the dogs for lunch. We declined and asked to be taken back to town. When I contacted Viator to ask for refund the request was rejected because the tour operator said they completed the “tour”.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
