About this tour

Experience Tierra del Fuego and enter a world of unique landscapes, where the Andes Mountains meet the glacial lakes at the southern tip of the continent. This tour to the Escondido and Fagnano Lakes from Ushuaia is one of the most comprehensive experiences to discover the nature of Tierra del Fuego.

Departure from Ushuaia and Mirador Valle Carbajal

The adventure begins with departure from your hotel in Ushuaia to the Mirador Valle Carbajal. This valley is famous for its peat bogs and characteristic vegetation, and offers one of the most impressive panoramic views of the Fueguina mountain range and its mountain glaciers. It`s the first postcard of a day full of nature and unforgettable landscapes.

Stop at a winter resort

We continue the tour with a brief stop at a winter resort, surrounded by forests and mountains. During the winter, these resorts are popular destinations for activities such as cross-country skiing, sledding, and snowmobiling, while in the summer they become ideal retreats for those who enjoy fresh air and contact with nature.

Crossing the Andes Mountains via the Garibaldi Pass

Returning to the legendary National Route No. 3, we arrive at Garibaldi Pass, the highest point on the highway and one of the most iconic places in Tierra del Fuego. From here, you`ll cross the Andes mountain range at its southern end, offering stunning panoramic views of forests, lakes, and mountains stretching into the horizon.

Walk along Lake Fagnano

Our next stop will be at the historic Puesto La Carmen, where a hot drink awaits us before beginning a hike along the shore of Lake Fagnano. This immense lake, also known by the indigenous Ona people as “The Rest of the Horizon”, is striking for its magnitude and the way it visually cuts through the mountain range. It`s a unique setting to contemplate and photograph.

Mirador del Lago Escondido

At noon we will arrive at the Mirador del Lago Escondido, a calm lake hidden in a deep valley between mountains. Surrounded by forests, this place exudes a serene atmosphere and is one of the most photographed spots in Tierra del Fuego.

Lunch at a winter resort and return to Ushuaia

The experience continues with the return to a winter resort, where we will have free time to enjoy a typical Fuegian lunch and relax in a setting of pure nature. After the break, we begin our journey back to the city of Ushuaia, with the satisfaction of having explored some of the most emblematic landscapes of the end of the world.
