OVERVIEW
A helicopter ride over Ushuaia offers a thrilling adventure, with a 15-minute flight showcasing the breathtaking Emerald Lagoon. Departing from downtown, you’ll soar above Ushuaia Bay, taking in panoramic views of the bustling port and charming city below.
As you ascend, the rugged landscapes of Tierra del Fuego unfold beneath you, revealing snow-capped peaks and winding rivers. Flying through the Olivia River Valley, you’ll witness the towering Mount Olivia and the striking Five Brothers Mountain, forming a dramatic natural backdrop.
The journey continues over the Carbajal Valley, a landscape sculpted by glaciers over millennia, featuring a mesmerizing mix of peat and lush vegetation. Deeper into the valley, the highlight emerges—the Emerald Lagoon. Nestled among the mountains, this dazzling turquoise body of water owes its vibrant color to mineral deposits and glacial melt.
