HD Tierra del Fuego National Park 

Pick-up: 08:00

Pristine nature, silence, the sounds of flying birds, the clarity of water, native trees, local stories, a unique lunch at the End of the World and much more are the feelings you will experience in this impressive natural and historical monument during 4 hours. The adventure starts at the hotel, where the guide will pick you up to start your journey to the National Park. Once we get there, the “lengas” and “guindos” will surprise us along the road. We walk along an interpretive trail, accompanied by our great guides, who know the place and local history. From there we will go to Lake Roca - Errazuriz to appreciate its waters, the surrounding forest formed by specimens that exceed 300 years and the limits with Chile. In the vicinity is the Alakush Visitor Center, within which we will visit the interpretation room about fauna, flora and zoology of the place; and the exhibition on the human occupation of the Park (among them the Yamanas, Fuegian Pioneers and sawmills). Before continuing our adventure, we take time to relax, drink a hot chocolate or coffee and some sweets, surrounded by wonderful views. After the break, we are ready to continue connecting trails until we reach the end of National Route #3 in Lapataia Bay. Then we will stop at Ensenada Zaratiegui where we will find the most southern post office. After about 4 hours we will finish our adventure with the feeling of having been part of the history and the nature of our island.


Yámana Meeting

Everything depends on the point of view, or the place where we put ourselves to enjoy not only the activity, but also the landscapes, sounds, moments we experience when we do it.

Therefore, we invite you to discover Escondido Lake from another perspective. Taking advantage of its excellent conditions for nautical sports and the long hours of light of the austral summer, we will enjoy the canoeing and go back to the means of transport of the ancestors of our island to discover the local customs and all its mysticism while we have fun and enjoy the rowing. Once we get out of the lake, a typical lamb awaits us at the stake and a good wine, the inevitable companion of the adventure we live!
