Route of the Centolla and Sabores del Mar – Tour to Puerto Almanza
Description
Explore the Route of the Centolla and Sabores del Mar, a journey through the southernmost landscapes and traditions of Tierra del Fuego. From Ushuaia, I tour the glacial valleys of Olivia and Carbajal, stopping at natural viewpoints to admire the mountains, peatlands and beaver trees. We stop in Haruwen, where you can taste local artisan gin, before continuing to the quiet Victoria Lagoon, a water mirror surrounded by native forest ideal to enjoy the calm of the environment. Finally, we arrive at Puerto Almanza, a small fishing village on the Beagle Channel, where life revolves around the sea. There you enjoy a lunch with fresh centolla and local seafood, accompanied by guides who share the stories and flavors of the end of the world.

Itinerary
Short stop to appreciate the mountain scenery, lenga forests and panoramic views of the valley and surrounding glaciers.
We visit the historic site where the museum of antique motorcycles and a small craft distillery of gin are located. A place with a lot of local history, ideal for pausing and enjoying the Fueguino atmosphere.
The stop in Laguna Victoria offers a moment of tranquility in a unique landscape, surrounded by mountains and Fueguin forests. This lagoon, located in an extensive peat field, stands out for its natural environment and dark water. During the visit, in addition to enjoying the environment, we will have the opportunity to learn about this fascinating ecosystem and its importance in the region. It is a perfect place to connect with nature and better understand the crucial role of peatlands in environmental balance before continuing with The Adventure.
The adventure starts from Puerto Almanza, a charming coastal town. Along the Beagle Channel, you can see marine production areas, with buoys dedicated to mussel cultivation, boats in full activity and traps for the centolla, known locally as 'red gold'. Following the iconic “Route of the Centolla”, we enter the village and walk along its only street, until we reach the dock where the boat awaits us. After the excursion, we headed to a local fisherman’s restaurant, where we enjoyed lunch with fresh produce from the region. Between talks and pleasant moments, we share the experiences before embarking on the return to the city.

Very good walk...well different and with beautiful landscapes...
Obrigado! 😊 Que bom que você aproveitou as paisagens do fim do mundo. Esperamos você de volta em Ushuaia! 🌿
Puerto Almanza is a small community, which with great effort and pride inhabits a beautiful place in Tierra del Fuego. Dedicated to fishing, they offer warmth and products in tasteful improvised restaurants in a space of their homes. Today we were welcomed by Araceli, a local, fisherman and a great cook who with her own flavors welcomed us at her home. Thank you Explore Tierra del Fuego for bringing us closer, for making visible and valuing the local product and its inhabitants. Thank you for the tour and with great love and dedication show us and teach us a lot about Ushuaia, and the particularities of the #enddelmundo. Thank you Lucas, Seba and Juanse for your work!!! Highly recommended

A magnificent and very pleasant experience with the guide Franco and a couple of foreigners. Everything was in both languages, with great detail. Stop for breakfast at Laguna Victoria, then lunch at Araceli's restaurant to sample a super-luxurious, exquisite, three-step menu. Finally, we embarked to Isla Martillo to see the penguins that you could almost touch them from how close they looked. Mind-blowing experience. Thanks to all the team at ExploreTDF, they are geniuses!
¡Qué lindo leer tu experiencia! Nos encanta saber que disfrutaste cada momento. Franco va a estar feliz con tus palabras. Gracias por confiar en Explore, ¡ojalá volvamos a cruzarnos en otra aventura!
We had a spectacular experience, the place is super quiet and beyond beautiful. Luciano our guide super attentive in everything. We could see scintillas on the shore and everything. More than recommended.
