4 days - 3 night

Day 1 - Arrive Ushuaia
You will be met on arrival at Ushuaia Airport by our representative, who will transfer you to your hotel. Accommodation at the hotel of your choice for 3 nights. This afternoon is yours at leisure to explore the city of Ushuaia & its Museums. Either "The End of the World Museum", the "Yámana World" or "The Maritime Museum" will vividly display & illustrate the history, the remoteness & harsh nature of this desolate end of the South American continent.


Day 2 - Ushuaia - Lakes Off Road
(B) At 9.00 your guide will pick you up from your hotel to start one of the most adventurous 4WD day excursions imaginable. This day adventure operates all year round & it is highly recommended for people looking for a comfortable but different outdoor adventure experience.

Leaving Ushuaia heading north enjoy the landscapes of the Carabajal & Tierra Mayor Valleys& on up to Garibaldi Pass where weather permitting, you´ll stop for a photo opportunity. Then onto Aserradero Bronzovich, where from here, we will be ¨Off Road ¨.

The vehicle approaches Fagnano Lake & weather permitting at a spectacular forest setting, morning coffee is served. After morning coffee stop, continue to drive off road along the shores of the lake, through the forest, on the beach for about 1 hour. Then it is to Bombilla Lake, where those who opt can go walking to the rustic yet very comfortable lodge ( it is a 40 minute walk).

At the lodge you´ll be met with an aperitif, a delicious "asado" & of course wonderful Argentine wines.

Mid-afternoon start the journey off road to Escondido Lake up to Petrel Hostel. Here, afternoon coffee is served in the pristine beauty of this wilderness.

The days adventures conclude when you will be delivered back to your hotel in Ushuaia approx 1800hrs.


Day 3 - Ushuaia - Trekking & Sailing (National Park)
(B) An after breakfast pick up from your hotel, heading westwards to arrive at the National Park, & after paying the nominal entrance fee (not included), head to the coastal path. This path, (2 ½ hours) is undoubtedly the most beautiful in the Park with an abundance of vegetation (High Deciduous Beech, Low Deciduous Beech, Evergreen Beech, Winterbark, Firebush, etc.). Unbelievable!!!.

Then board an 18 person inflatable Zodiac boat & sail along the Beagle Channel to the Redonda Island to view the colony of Imperial Cormorants that nestle in a rocky wall of the isle.

Disembarking on the island, have lunch in a refuge with stunning views. Lunch is homemade pasta with drinks included - red wine, sodas & mineral water.

After lunch there is free time allocated to walk around the island which is a natural reserve only opened to tourists a couple of years ago. There are two clearly marked paths, 20 minutes each. From here you will head to Lapataia Bay to see some of the most beautiful seabirds (Albatrosses, Petrels, Snowy Sheath Bills & dependant upon season, Penguins).

Arrive to Lapataia Bay - this is considered the end of the Panamerican Road & The End of the world. Here there are two short walking paths to the Lapataia & Las Lengas lookouts where your van is waiting to take you back to Ushuaia.
