Low season, high wonders: exploring Ushuaia

Day 1:
Arrival at the airport and transfer to the selected hotel.

Day 2:
Breakfast.

Tierra del Fuego National Park: Along the way some of the main attractions are Pipo River, Monte Susana, Lake Roca, Alakush Visitors Centre, Laguna Verde and Lapataia Bay where the Pan-American route system ends. We will make picture stops and take a 30-minute walk depending on the weather conditions.

The topography of the park is extremely varied, consisting of steep mountains, rivers, valleys and lakes before reaching the coast of the Beagle Channel.

Throughout the year you can admire the sub-Antarctic forest. The variety of marine and mountainous environments allows a wide range of birds to inhabit this region, from the cachaña, the giant woodpecker, the "rayadito" and the Patagonian thrush, to the kelp goose, symbol of this National Park.

The End of the World Train invites you to relive the last 7 km of the old convict's train history, which left from the prison located in the city of Ushuaia towards the slopes of Mount Susana to obtain different materials for construction. On board the train you will hear the story and you will be delighted with the magnificent landscapes.

Day 3:
Breakfast.

Day at leisure. At night, Martial by Night excursion: A glacial cirque located just 20 minutes from downtown Ushuaia, where you will experience the mountain in a whole new way after dark.

Venture into the Fuegian forest along trails originally carved by woodcutters over a century ago, and discover unique views of Ushuaia Bay and the surrounding mountains.

As dusk settles and the last daylight fades, we will reach our mountain dome, where a warm welcome awaits, with hot mulled wine served by the fire. Then, carrying our lanterns, we will continue walking through the forest until we reach our exclusive mountain refuge, where a traditional mountain stew will be served, accompanied by fine wine and a truly unique atmosphere.

Day 4:
Breakfast.

Fueguino Lakes: The excursion begins with departure from the hotel towards Carbajal Valley Viewpoint, where you will enjoy impressive views of the peat bogs, the mountain range and its mountain glaciers. A short stop will be made at a winter activity centre.

Continuing along Route 3, the journey reaches Garibaldi Pass, crossing the Andes at their southernmost and final stretch.

By mid-morning, we will arrive at Puesto La Carmen, where a hot drink will be served before taking a walk along the shores of Lake Fagnano, also known by the indigenous Ona people as "The Rest of the Horizon", its name refers to the way the lake interrupts the imaginary horizon line formed by the mountains, only for it to reappear on the other side.

Around midday, we will reach Garibaldi Pass Viewpoint to admire Lake Escondido from above.

We will then return to the winter activity centre for lunch before heading back to Ushuaia.
