ACTIVITIES:
A tour along the Beagle Channel is an invitation to see Ushuaia from a different viewpoint. We’ll set sail from Ushuaia’s commercial pier and cruise around Alicia Island. There, we’ll watch for seabirds like the steamer duck, sheldgoose, kelp gull, seagull, and snowy sheathbill. Near the Mary Ann and Les Eclaireus island we’ll observe South American sea lions and fur seals, as well as both imperial and rock shags. In addition to seeing the Les Eclaireus lighthouse, we’ll learn about the 1930 shipwreck of the SS Monte Cervantes.
There are many adventures for guests to embark on within the reserve, from tranquil nature walks exploring the rich biodiversity of the region to more active guided treks to the summits of Turbal and Cerro Alarkén.
Set sail from Ushuaia’s pier onward to Alicia Island. There, we’ll focus on birdwatching: the steamer duck, sheldgoose, kelp gull and seagulls, and the snowy sheathbill. We’ll visit the Les Eclaireus lighthouse before sailing on to Martillo Island where we’ll observe a colony of Magellanic penguins – and perhaps some Gentoo penguins as well!
Hop aboard the free shuttle to the city to indulge in some retail therapy at the “End of the World” in Ushuaia.
Considered by both local mountaineers and experts alike the best hike that Tierra del Fuego has to offer.

We’ll make our way there to explore its caves, crevasses, and moraines. Your efforts will be handsomely rewarded by the overall experience and the power of the landscape.
