About this tour

The excursion begins with the transfer from your accommodation to the beautiful Playa Larga Natural and Cultural Reserve, located on the shores of the majestic Beagle Channel. From the starting point, we begin a quiet walk along the banks, where the landscape combines the serenity of the water with the richness of the coastal forest.

We walk along the Beagle Channel, enjoying the sea breeze and the sound of the waves, while our bilingual guide introduces us to the history and ecological value of the place. The trail leads us to the access that leads to the old Estancia Túnel, a place full of stories that speak of life and work in these Patagonian lands.

During the walk, the biodiversity of the coastal forest becomes evident: the iconic flag tree, which grows bent by the constant winds, dominates the landscape along with the pink flowers of the notros and the canelos, native trees with aromatic leaves. We also see a variety of fruit bushes and a rugged coastline offering stunning panoramic views.

The route, of low difficulty and 5 km length, is designed to be enjoyed slowly, allowing you to stop and appreciate every natural and cultural detail. At the end of the hike, we enjoy a box lunch with a full sandwich, cereal bars or nuts, water and a hot infusion, to regain energy before returning on the transfer to the city.

This tour, with a total duration, is ideal for those who want to connect with nature and the history of Tierra del Fuego in an accessible and enriching experience.
