OVERVIEW
A helicopter ride with a landing in the Andes is a thrilling adventure that immerses you in one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes.
As the journey begins, excitement builds while the helicopter ascends over the rugged terrain of Tierra del Fuego. From above, you’ll witness sprawling forests, winding rivers, and snow-capped peaks stretching into the distance.
Approaching the towering Andes, the landscape unfolds in all its majesty. The pilot expertly navigates through mountain valleys, offering close-up views of dramatic cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and pristine alpine lakes. Then, at a carefully selected landing spot, the helicopter gently touches down, allowing you to step out and take in the crisp mountain air.
Surrounded by the Andes’ stunning beauty, you’ll have time to explore, take photos, and fully absorb the peaceful solitude of this remote wilderness. Whether admiring the scenery, enjoying a moment of quiet reflection, or capturing unforgettable snapshots, this stop in the Andes is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
After soaking in the magic of the mountains, you’ll board the helicopter once more for the return flight. As you soar back over Ushuaia, you’ll carry with you the unforgettable memories of this extraordinary adventure.
ITINERARY
Our journey begins at our downtown office, where we’ll board our vehicles and head to the former Ushuaia airport. There, we’ll receive a brief safety briefing before taking off in helicopters for an unforgettable adventure.
Lifting off to the north, we’ll soar over Ushuaia Bay, the port, and the city before gaining altitude to enter the Olivia River Valley. From above, we’ll admire the majestic Mount Olivia and the distinctive Five Brothers Mountain. As we continue, the stunning Carbajal Valley comes into view, shaped by ancient glaciers and covered in vast peatlands. Flying deeper into the valley, we’ll reach the breathtaking Emerald Lagoon, a vibrant turquoise body of water surrounded by mountains—one of Ushuaia’s most visited natural gems.
Next, we head south, crossing the Andes through the Encajonado River Valley until we reach the Beagle Channel. Shortly after, we land at the summit of Cerro Le’Cloche, where we’ll step out to take in the awe-inspiring scenery. From this privileged viewpoint, we’ll have the Beagle Channel and the Andes Mountains in front of us, with the city of Ushuaia spread out below—a perfect opportunity for unforgettable photos.
After enjoying this magical moment, we’ll board the helicopter for our return flight, landing back at the heliport, where a transfer will be waiting to take us back.
