Visit the incredible Tierra del Fuego National Park, and the amazing Beagle Channel and the penguins in Martillo Island
Enjoy two amazing destinations from Ushuaia during our 2-night tour:
Tierra del Fuego National Park:
Located near Ushuaia, this stunning national park offers breathtaking views of forests, mountains, rivers, and lakes. Visitors can explore walking trails through lenga and coihue woods, see native wildlife like foxes and birds, and enjoy scenic spots like Lapataia Bay (the end of the Pan-American Highway), Ensenada Bay, and Roca Lake. The park also showcases the region’s unique sub-Antarctic ecosystem and rich indigenous heritage. We will enjoy a wonderful trekking in the park.
Walk with Penguins:
This unique excursion takes you to Martillo Island in the Beagle Channel, where you can walk among a colony of Magellanic penguins and sometimes gentoo penguins in their natural habitat. After a scenic boat ride through the channel, a small group is allowed to disembark and walk alongside the penguins, observing their behavior up close in a respectful and non-intrusive way. The experience is guided by experts who provide insights into the penguins’ life cycle and the local ecosystem. It’s one of the few places in the world where walking with wild penguins is allowed.
