Come discover the beauty of Ushuaia’s Tierra del Fuego National Park, the southernmost nature reserve in South America.

Departing Ushuaia, you’ll immediately begin to see a change in scenery as you drive past picturesque Patagonian lakes, lagoons, and rivers, all of which are bodies of water that exit through the famous Beagle Channel.

We will begin the tour at the pier of Don Eduardo Arturo Brisighelli where we'll be able to see the most important buildings in the city of Ushuaia and the Maritim Museum which is the old prison. We'll also see and learn about the Museum of the End of the World, and the important industrial area that started in 1980 and has continued to grow.

Not only will you learn about the city and structures, you'll be blown away by the landscapes and natural beauty all around you. From this point, the landscape is a combination of sea and mountains-specifically you'll have a chance to see Olivia, Five Brothers, the Fique and Túnel estancias (typical Argentine ranches), and the Encajonado River.

From here we will board a small catamaran and sail on into the middle of the Beagle Channel. The ever famous Les Exlaireurs lighthouse will come into view as the boat heads southwest towards the archipelago that houses the lighthouse. As we pass by several small islands you'll have the chance to see pieces of the ship Monte Cervantes, which was shipwrecked in 1930.

As we approach the Sea Lion Island, you'll have the rare opportunity to see the sea lions in their natural habitat. You are sure to fall in love as you watch these peculiar sea mammals sunbathing, diving into the water, and playing with each other. This is really an untouched part of the world-aside from the screeches and squeals of the sea lions you will notice complete silence as the catamaran sails around the island.

After about a half an hour, we will head towards the Bird Island to see the Magellanic Cormorants, the Imperial Cormorants Imperial, the Giant Albatrosses, Petreles Fullman, Petreles, Squas and 20 different species of sea birds. The birds have really taken over the island and it's a site to behold!

This dramatic catamaran cruise is a once in a lifetime chance to experience the same sights and sounds that naturalist Charles Darwin witnessed when he sailed up the Beagle Channel in the famous eponymous ship.

Departing from the port of Ushuaia, the catamaran embarks on an unforgettable tour of the stunning landscapes and natural wonders that surround the town on all sides. As you sail out of Ushuaia harbour, enjoy the magnificent panoramic views of what is said to be the most southerly city in the world and its extraordinary setting, with jagged mountain peaks forming a backdrop. With a running commentary to provide expert information on the sights, the vessel makes its way into the Beagle Channel and passes close to the Isla de los Pajaros (‘Bird Island’), home to a large number of bird species, including a large colony of cormorants.

Next the cruise sails around the Isla de los Lobos (‘Island of Wolves’), a rocky outcrop where large numbers of seals and sea lions take up residence.

The catamaran offers both enclosed areas, for those preferring to stay out of the elements, and open deck space for the more adventurous, so there are plenty of opportunities for budding wildlife photographers, especially at Isla de los Lobos, where the captain steers close to shore. On the return trip to Ushuaia, the cruise passes by the remarkable Les Eclaireures End-of-the-World Lighthouse. The duration of the cruise is approximately two and a half hours.

With this combo you can enjoy two of the unmissable activities of Ushuaia: visit the Tierra del Fuego National Park and navigate the Beagle Channel

Tierra del Fuego National Park
The entrance to Tierra del Fuego National Park is 12 km far from Ushuaia. With a surface of 63.000 hectares, it contains many species of trees and bushes, such as firebushes, beech trees, ñires, box-leafed barberries, and flowers such as orchids, violets and another species. Doing this excursion we will be close to Nature. Following a road around the mountains we will see the peat bogs and the beaver dams before arriving at Lapataia River. Once we cross the river, we will have a nice view of Laguna Verde and the upland geese and ibis that come here every summer. We suggest you to take a long walk along a path up to Laguna Negra or the Beavers Path, to know the work of these curious animals. In Lapataia Bay (the end of the National Road N. 3) it is possible to see the area where the old inhabitants of the Island left their testimony: the Yamana kitchen, an interesting archeological place. Before returning to Ushuaia we are going to stop in front of Lago Roca, whose colour varies according to the weather conditions.

Channel Beagle Navigation
We leave Ushuaia by sailing the Beagle Channel waters, passing the Ushuaia Bay, the north cost of the channel, the archipiélago and the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, where it is possible to visit different sea bird nests, seals areas and several types of coastal and sea birds (petrels, albatrosses, cormorants, oyster catchers, etc). We will sail back to Ushuaia.
