Day 7: Oct 09 | Ushuaia
Breakfast. In the morning, excursion to Tierra del Fuego National Park. Our friendly guides offer a serene and detailed visit to all the beautiful and relevant places of the National Park. The tour departs from your hotel and includes lunch and drinks in a panoramic and serene place, the Cormorant Archipelago area in a large dining tent.
After a 25 to 40 minute drive from the hotel, within the Tierra del Fuego National Park, you will arrive at Ensenada Zaratiegui, also known as "Ensenada Bay". There, where the post office of the end of the world is located, you will take a short circular walk along the beach and through the forest, getting views of Isla Redonda and the Chilean coast, on the other side of the Beagle Channel.
The guide will provide an itinerary full of information that covers all the panoramic and interesting points of the National Park. We will also visit Lapataia Bay, at the end of all the roads to America. We will also see the Lapataia and Ovando rivers, the Laguna Verde and Lake Acigami (called Lake Roca for a short time).
In the afternoon, sailing through the Beagle Channel to Isla de los Lobos and Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse (known as the Lighthouse at the End of the World). This excursion starts at the local tourist pier, from where you set off to sail across the wide Ushuaia Bay until you reach the Beagle Channel. There we sail around the Isla de los Pájaros (Birds Island): where you can appreciate the Fuegian avifauna, observing Skuas, Black-browed Albatrosses, Steamer Ducks, Geese, Kelp Gulls and Grey Gulls; and the Isla de los Lobos (Sea Lions Island): where you can find the one and two haired sea lions. Arriving at Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse (The Illuminators), colonies of Imperial Cormorants and Rock Cormorants can be seen. Throughout the tour, the guide not only refers to the characteristics of each of the species sighted and the geography of the place, but also explains the historical importance of this maritime passage in the emergence of the city. On the way back to the city, the view of the mountain range that surrounds Ushuaia and the splendid nature that surrounds it is amazing. It is a journey of great historical and scenic value. Transfer not included.
