While excursions and activities in the snow are very attractive in the winter months as the destination is prepared for this purpose, in spring and summer the landscape changes completely, filling with life and colours that modify the landscape.

A very important fact to bear in mind is that the summer season brings with it much longer days than in winter, allowing for full-day excursions without the need for an early start or the need to rush back home.

The sunlight can be present from 6 am to 22 hs or more in some occasions and the temperature is approximately 10° which in the sun can be very pleasant since as the season progresses the minimum temperatures begin to rise. The idea is to take advantage of this beautiful season full of life and colours to enjoy the activities you can do on your trip to Ushuaia. Here are some unmissable places to visit at the end of the world in November.

Sailing in the Beagle Channel: A walk around the penguin colony

A classic in Ushuaia is to sail along the emblematic Beagle Channel to the Penguin Colony on a boat that allows you to enjoy a dreamlike mountain scenery that will relax you with the best photos of the place. The navigation departs from Ushuaia to enter the Archipelago of the Bridges Islands and there to visit the Isla de los Pajaros with its autochthonous avifauna. Among them you can see grey gulls, geese, ducks and albatrosses among other species. Then, we approach the Isla de los Lobos where you can enjoy them from the boat, interacting and getting to know their habitat from very close. 

An emblematic photo not to forget to take is at the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, an icon of the city of Ushuaia that you can't miss.

The queen of the excursion is the well known penguin colony, where you can watch Magellanic and Gentoo Penguins, the species that are found in these latitudes during the summer season. It is a beautiful natural spectacle, as these elegant penguins are not a common sight, so the excursion is a marvellous experience for young and old alike. With great caution so as not to frighten them, the boat will approach to take the best photos of the moment and see them up close. The best time to see them is between spring and summer, when they migrate and return the following year. Navigation in the Beagle Channel is an adventure that can be combined with another excursion during the day and lasts approximately three hours.

The Train to the End of the World is perfectly combined with the ride inside the National Park, You travel for a while listening to the history of the train and the work of the men of the prison and then continue the walk for as long as you wish.
