About this tour

After our meeting at the Ushuaia Tourist Pier, we will board a comfortable yacht, exclusively for our group. We will sail through the Beagle Channel to our first stop, Alice Island, where we will observe a colony of South American sea lions. Then we will set sail towards Bird Island, where the colonies of royal and imperial cormorants live next to their nests, being able to see their chicks from spring to autumn. The diversity and quantity of fauna will leave us amazed.

Again we head east to another small island where, depending on the time of year, there are two-haired sea lions. We will sail very close to the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, an authentic symbol of the city of Ushuaia, built in 1919. From there we will see the island of rock cormorants. 

On the way back, we will disembark on Bridges Island to walk along an interpretive trail of flora and fauna, where we will also learn part of the history of the Yámana aborigines. This island is home to the largest Yámana anthropogenic shell middens in the region. 
Because it is the largest island, we will reach the highest panoramic point, which will allow us to have incredible views of the magnificent Beagle Channel with the City of Ushuaia in the distance and the Andes Mountains

We will sail back to the pier where our trip ends. 

During the journey, we will share coffee with liqueur, different varieties of tea, a delicious hot chocolate with sweet cookies and, of course, the typical Argentine mate.

ushuaia: ma place dans le monde

Je suis né à Ushuaia (parce que mon père travaillait pour une entreprise là-bas) mais ma famille est retournée à Buenos Aires quand j'avais moins de 2 ans. Je ne peux donc pas dire que j'ai beaucoup vécu à Ushuaia, mais j'ai un lien particulier avec ces terres. Je recommande à tous ceux qui visitent l’Aregntina de prendre le temps de le savoir: ils ne le regretteront pas. C'est un endroit magique. Intemporel. Ushuaia vous attend!

Ushuaia: mein Platz in der Welt

Ich wurde in Ushuaia geboren (weil mein Vater dort für eine Firma gearbeitet hat), aber meine Familie ging zurück nach Buenos Aires, als ich weniger als 2 Jahre alt war. Daher kann ich nicht sagen, dass ich viel in Ushuaia gelebt habe, aber ich habe eine besondere Verbindung zu diesen Ländern. Ich empfehle jedem, der die Aregntina besucht, sich die Zeit zu nehmen, um es zu wissen: Sie werden es nicht bereuen. Es ist ein magischer Ort. Ohne zeit Ushuaia erwartet Sie!

Le recomiendo a todo aquel que esté de visita en la Aregntina que se haga el tiempo para conocer: no se van a arrepentir. Es un lugar mágico. Sin tiempo. Ushuaia los espera!
