Itinerary
I discovered one of the most beautiful panoramic viewpoints in Ushuaia. Come to discover the history of the valleys, glaciers and winter centers.
We will pass through one of the winter centers of Ushuaia
While we travel to the area of the great lakes we will visit this spectacular winter center where in the snow season you can carry out activities.
Get to know one of the most recognized Ski and Snowboard sports centers in Latin America.
Winter center of the city of Ushuaia
We will visit the Garibaldi Pass, the highest point of the crossing of the Andes mountain range, where you can discover the famous "Escondido Lake".
You are going to contemplate a glacial lake framed in the Andes mountain range. Crystal clear waters with species of trout for sport fishing, beavers and a great diversity of birds. Just 57 km north of Ushuaia, in an environment of native forest where Lenga predominates. For this reason, until 2016 sawmills and timber production existed. The original sheds and the old ovens of the sawmill that offered work to professionals from Chile or the province of Misiones in Argentina, for their experience in logging.
Come meet an active beaver! I discovered the story of the arrival of these natural engineers to these areas of the planet and who knows, you might even see them in action!
One of the 3 largest lakes in Argentina. On the shores of the lake we will have time to enjoy a pristine place, land where the "Onas of the North" lived, as the Yámanas Indians called the Shelknam Indians. In that same magical lake, where for many it has a very personal, energetic and peaceful meaning, we are going to enjoy a simple sandwich

Wonderful adventure to know the lakes, visit the breeding of dogs used for transportation in the snow and to have wine with cheese and bread on the edge of the lake, after a trip dribling atollers. Our driver-guide was show!
Muito obrigada por compartilhar sua experiência na nossa aventura até o Lago Fagnano e o Lago Escondido. O que você descreveu representa muito bem o espírito desse passeio: paisagens dos Andes Fueguinos, travessias off-road, momentos tranquilos à beira do lago e o contato com experiências bem típicas da região, como os cães de neve. Obrigado também por destacar o trabalho do nosso guia-motorista — isso reflete a forma como nosso time local vive e compartilha Ushuaia todos os dias. Há mais de 22 anos, criamos experiências em Ushuaia com pessoas que amam o que fazem e gostam de mostrar essa região de um jeito próximo e verdadeiro. Agradecemos muito pela recomendação. Abraços!!

The group tour ended up in a private excursion because we were the only ones who booked that schedule. Thank you to the agency for maintaining our visit. Diego, our guide was perfect, gave us a lot of explanations about the area, history, climate, life in general in Ushuaia, all in perfect English for us. He also answered all our questions with kindness. He's really been at our service. And even when the SUV went flat, he handled the situation with great calm and professionalism. A big thank you to Diego. The 4x4 tour was simply magnificent: the scenery, the Garibaldi Passage, the hidden lake, Lake Fagnano, the beaver dams (missing beavers, damage) and the snack at Lake Fagnano. A real change of scenery in nature. A half day outing to recommend.

This was such a great half day! Easy pick up at my hotel, then two other stops around the block to get our total of 5 travelers. Our guide was amazing, Fergundo (I may be butchering spelling - I’m sorry my friend!). The itinerary follows exactly as it’s laid out. We had a 4x4 with 6 seats. He even slowed down to explain additional landmarks not listed in the info - quick stops, didn’t get out of the car. We spent 5-10 mins at two viewpoints and then visited two magical lakes to walk around a bit. The place we stopped for coffee and a snack was so quaint with beautiful grounds to walk around. No complaints - I highly recommend this tour.

The interpreter Stephen was fantastic!! He gave us an excellent understanding of the history, the geography and the culture of the area. Great personality. The driver, Victor, was amazing. He knows his 4x4 skills. Great driving!!
We did the 4x4 excursion, the vehicle arrived a little late, with prior notice. But the good vibes of the driver/guide Gonzalo made you forget the delay. A genius. The excursion is 100% recommended, beautiful landscapes
Hola Matias!!! Gracias por compartirnos tu experiencia, es un gusto para nosotros trabajar dia a dia para ustedes e ir mejorando en el camino. Un gusto que nos hayan elegido!, gracias!!
Take the tour with Gonzalo who was our guide, he has a lot of information and is very aware of his passengers and is a very kind and cordial person. If you are looking for a tour where you want to learn and enjoy, look for Gonzalo.
Mil gracias por tus buenos comentarios y por elegirnos!!
Beautiful experience, I spent an afternoon observing the mountains and the lakes. We had a snack at Lago Fagnano, with the warm attention of Gonzalo, who throughout the trip was telling us different things, which made it very interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommended
Silvia!!! Que gusto que hayan disfrutado de conocer los grandes Lagos de la Isla junto a nosotros!!! Gracias por elegirnos
The tour led by Gonzalo was super enjoyable, giving data the entire route. Stopping at strategic places and telling the related story. And the best of all; You finish the tour eating the best fried cakes in the county. 😋
Estamos de acuerdo que todo vale la pena si el dia lo terminamos comiendo tortas fritas!!! Gracias por elegirnos y por compartirnos tus experiencias!!! Es un placer para nosotros
