The experience

A tour to discover the essence of Tierra del Fuego: lakes, mountains, forests, wildlife, local culture and the island's wildest landscapes.

We head out on National Route 3 through glacial valleys, lenga forests and mountain areas. First stop: the Paso Garibaldi viewpoint, overlooking Lago Escondido and Lago Fagnano.

We enter the Corazón de la Isla (Heart of the Island), a protected area of near-pristine nature with forests, peat bogs and beaver dams; with luck, native wildlife too.

We reach Tolhuin, on the shores of Lago Fagnano, with free time to explore the village, known for its artisan bakery. Lunch is at a country restaurant, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

Exclusive perk: book this tour with us and get 50% off cold-weather clothing rental.
