Itinerary

Day 1 Ushuaia

Ushuaia is the world's second-southernmost city and is located on the southern tip of the island of Tierra del Fuego. Guarded on the north by the Martial mountain range and on the south by the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia is a key access point to the southern regions. The city and nearby national park is a popular vacation spot for Buenos Aires. Ushuaia is one of the departure points for Antarctic expeditions and for visiting the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas).

Enjoy a private airport transfer with vehicle, English speaking guide and driver.

This tour shows us diverse panoramic view points through which we can get an idea of the building industry and demographic growth of this unique city. It lasts around an hour during which the guide will give us a brief explanation of Ushuaia’s background, its urban development and the changes occurred throughout times. The final stop of the tour is in front of the "End of the World" museum.

Los Acebos Hotel in Ushuaia is a modern hotel surrounded by forests and mountains with a view from most areas of the hotel of the Beagle Channel. All 56 rooms are well equipped with modern facilities and room service is available. The on site restaurant serves great international dishes in beautiful surroundings and in a warm friendly atmosphere. The bar serves a variety of drinks, regional and international. Guests can enjoy a drink either in the lounge which has a fireplace or in the games room.

Overnight at Los Acebos Hotel.

Day 2 Ushuaia

Partake in a half day private tour with your own vehicle, driver and guide to explore the Tierra del Fuego National Park, situated 11 km from Ushuaia. The park was established in 1960 with the intention of protecting the southernmost portion of the sub Antarctic forest and is made up of 63000 hectares. Unlike many other parks, it combines the ocean, forests and mountains. The biological richness of the Tierra del Fuego Island with its beautiful scenery is simply stunning. You can find animals such as red foxes, cauquenes, ducks, Patagonian wood peckers and more than 90 species of birds that are part of the Fuegian fauna, as well as beavers and rabbits, which were introduced to the island by colonizers. The forest is formed by lengas, guindos, ñires and valleys of peat and lichens. Ensenada Bay, Lake Roca and Lapataia Bay (the end of the Pan-American Highway that connects Alaska and Tierra del Fuego) give color to this unique place where we can still find reminders of the ancestral inhabitants: the yámanas. At the end of the tour you will be brought back to your hotel.

Enjoy a two to three hour shared boat trip along the Beagle Channel and see Ushuaia from a different perspective. Leaving the local harbor, you can enjoy the navigation in a sailboat or a catamaran along the channel and admire the sight of the mountain range that surrounds the city. Isla de los lobos, and Isla de los Pájaros in the Bridges Archipelago, are good spots for watching sea lions, cormorants, albatrosses, skuas, petrels and sea gulls. Another interesting part of the trip is the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, the silent witness of the Monte Cervantes wreckage in 1930.

Overnight at Los Acebos Hotel.
