We invite you to explore the Tierra del Fuego National ParkA natural sanctuary of almost 70,000 hectares where the Andes Mountains meet the sea. This excursion is a must for those who wish to connect with the untouched nature of the extreme south and learn about the living history of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego.
The Beginning of the Adventure: From the Hotel to the Train at the End of the World
Our day starts early, at 8:00 a.m., with our Pick Up directly at your accommodation. After travelling just 8 kilometres along the emblematic National Route 3, we will arrive at the historic Fuegian Southern Railway Station.
Here, travellers have the optional opportunity to board the legendary End of the World Train. On a magnificent 7-kilometre route, you will travel along the same path that the inmates of the old Ushuaia prison used to walk at the beginning of the 20th century. Aboard elegant carriages, you will go through forests of lenga trees, peat bogs and the spectacular waterfall of La Macarena in the Paseo del Valle, while the story on board immerses you in the city's penal past.
For those passengers who prefer not to do the rail section, our transport will continue the journey into the interior of the park, a protected area of unique biodiversity dedicated to the preservation of the sub-Antarctic forest. We will meet up with the rest of the group at the final station to continue our joint exploration into the more remote parts of the reserve.
Ensenada Zaratiegui Bay and the Mail from the End of the World
One of the main attractions of our itinerary is the visit to the Ensenada Zaratiegui Bay. This bay offers one of the most captivating views of the Beagle Channelwith the Chilean islands of Redonda and Estorbo on the horizon.
This is the site of the famous End of the World Postal UnitThe southernmost post office on the planet. The contrast between the blue of the sea and the dense green of the forests of coihues and guindos makes this place an obligatory stop for photography lovers.
Glacial Landscapes: Lake Acigami and the Alakush Centre
Continuing our journey, we will head for the Lake Acigami (also known as Roca Lake). This water mirror of glacial origin, shared with the neighbouring Republic of Chile, offers an environment of absolute peace. Its crystalline waters, framed by the Cóndor and Guanaco hills, are the perfect scenery to observe the behaviour of native birds such as the cauquenes and the steamer duck.
Afterwards, we will visit the Alakush Interpretation Centre. This museum space is fundamental to understand the magnitude of the ecosystem we are visiting. Here you can learn about the geology of the area and the culture of the YámanasThe original inhabitants who sailed these coasts in canoes thousands of years ago.
Lapataia Bay: The End of the Panamerican Route
The highlight of the day comes with a visit to the Lapataia Bay. This site has an unparalleled symbolic value: it is the end of the Pan-American Route. This is the end of the road system that connects the entire American continent, from Alaska to this precise point in the south of Argentina. We will walk along its wooden footbridges, breathing the fresh air of the channel, before setting off on the comfortable return to the city of Ushuaia.
