Day 2 – Beagle Channel Boat Trip – Martial Mount at Sunset

After breakfast, we’ll walk to the tourist pier to begin our excursion. Our first stop is Alicia Island, home to a colony of South American sea lions. From there, we’ll sail to Bird Island, where we’ll observe king and imperial shags near their nests. During spring and fall, we may even see their young. Next, we’ll head east toward another small island where, depending on the season, we may spot South American fur seals. Nearby, we’ll visit Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, an iconic symbol of Ushuaia, built in 1919. Here, we’ll also have a view of the island where rock shags reside. On our return to Ushuaia, we’ll disembark at Bridges Island for a guided nature walk. During this walk, we’ll learn about the native Yamana people and visit the region’s largest Yamana “concheros” (shelly deposits). As we explore the island, we’ll reach its highest panoramic point, offering stunning views of the Beagle Channel and the town of Ushuaia in the distance. Throughout the trip, we’ll enjoy refreshments such as coffee with liquor, various teas, delicious hot chocolate with biscuits and cookies, and of course, Argentina’s traditional beverage, mate. After lunch, we’ll regroup for an unforgettable evening. We’ll end the day in a truly unique way: exploring Mount Martial as daylight fades and savoring a regional dinner amidst the tranquility of the forest in our mountain dome. Our journey begins with a walk through the Fuegian forest, along trails created by lumberjacks a century ago. Along the way, you’ll take in stunning views of Ushuaia Bay and the surrounding mountains. This scenic hike concludes at our cozy Mountain Dome, where we’ll enjoy a fireside regional dish. It’s a different way to experience the End of the World—and of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a good toast to cap off the day!

Day 3– Tierra del Fuego National Park with Trek and Canoes

We have a fantastic day ahead! Immerse yourself in the breathtaking nature of Tierra del Fuego National Park. After breakfast, we’ll transfer to the park, where you’ll experience an incredible landscape of rivers, sea, mountains, and forests. Once inside the park, we’ll walk along several medium-difficulty trails, exploring a pristine paradise where mountains rise near the sea, and freshwater rivers and lakes meet the marine coast. At Acigami Lake, we’ll pause for lunch in a dining tent sheltered from the wind or rain. Afterward, gear up with rubber boots, pants, and life jackets (we provide these), and hop into our stable, inflatable canoes. We’ll paddle through the calm waters of the Lapataia and Ovando rivers, observing the transition from freshwater to the sea as we arrive at Lapataia Bay. This is truly the paradise at the End of the World.

Day 5 – Kayaking the Magellan Strait – Puerto Natales

We have an exciting day ahead at the southern tip of Chile. After breakfast, we’ll walk to the starting point of our adventure. Once ready, we’ll embark on our kayaking tour through the famous Strait of Magellan. This Patagonian Sea passage, named after the Portuguese explorer who first navigated it, connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. You’ll be immediately captivated by the breathtaking natural landscapes that surround us. This activity is of medium difficulty, and as we paddle, we’ll take in panoramic views of Punta Arenas and the famous Tierra del Fuego, which stretches across the southernmost tips of Chile and Argentina. If conditions permit, we may even encounter some of the local wildlife in their natural habitat. This remote area of South America boasts incredible biodiversity, and you might spot species like dolphins and sea lions thriving in the ecosystem. Our kayaking adventure will conclude around 1 pm. At 3 pm, we’ll catch a local bus to Puerto Natales. Upon arrival, we’ll enjoy a dinner together, which is included in the itinerary.

Day 6 – Full Day Trek Torres del Paine National Park

Today, we explore the jewel of Chilean Patagonia. After an early breakfast, we’ll drive to Torres del Paine National Park, renowned as one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world. After about an hour’s drive, we’ll arrive at the starting point of our trek. Our expert guide will brief us on the route, offering helpful tips and advice for the day ahead. As we begin our hike through the park, we’ll soon come upon a traditional wooden bridge suspended over the Ascencio River. After an exhilarating crossing, we’ll continue our ascent through the lush green foothills toward the towering mountains. From this point, the trail becomes steeper, offering even more spectacular views of the surrounding landscapes. After just over an hour of hiking, we’ll be rewarded with stunning vistas of a crystal-clear lake and the iconic three peaks of Torres del Paine— Monzino, d’Agostini, and Central. We’ll take a break here to rest and enjoy a picnic lunch in this postcard perfect setting. Once we’ve regained our energy, we’ll begin the descent back to the starting point of our trek.
