OUR RECOMMENDATION
We recommend this helicopter option if a mountain landing is the experience you most want to have. We would choose the shorter Emerald Lagoon flight when aerial sightseeing alone is your priority. We suggest comparing time in the air, time at the landing and total service duration before booking, and checking the minimum of two seats. We recommend keeping plans flexible because both the flight route and landing depend on weather and the pilot’s assessment.

OVERVIEW
See Ushuaia and the Fuegian Andes from the air on a helicopter excursion with a mountain landing. The published route includes valleys, Emerald Lagoon and Beagle Channel scenery. Transfers from the central meeting office are included. Flight routing and the landing depend on weather and pilot assessment.
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.
The flight route and mountain landing are subject to weather and the pilot’s operational assessment.
