Description

Join this active excursion to take part in the most comprehensive day tour of Tierra del Fuego. It departs from Ushuaia eastward on National Route No. 3 and then on route 'J'. Once on the coast of the Beagle Channel, preparations will begin to paddle in inflatable canoes towards Gable Island. Rubber boots, over-pants, and life jackets will be used. We will paddle through the channel as the native people did for thousands of years until we reach our refuge on Gable Island. There, we will enjoy a hot lunch with a good Patagonian wine, soft drink, and mineral water. After a coffee, the hike begins to explore this uninhabited island, where we will experience the true feeling of knowing the End of the World. Along the way, we will find remains left behind by the Yámana civilization and the first settlers. After the hike, a motorboat will be taken towards Martillo Island. From the boat, penguins can be sighted at their breeding site for 20 minutes, and then we will continue sailing towards the mainland, where the vehicle will be waiting to take us back to Ushuaia.
