Description

This amazing experience starts with a flight over Ushuaia Bay, then into the Olivia River Valley, showcasing Mount Olivia and Mount Cinco Hermanos. As the vastness takes your breath away, you'll spot the Carbajal Valley with its ancient peat bogs and the Nothofagus forest, changing with the seasons, along with mountain glaciers along the way. Nestled in a second mountain range, you'll find the stunning Emerald Lagoon, renowned for its extraordinary color, which stands out in summer, and later in autumn, until it freezes and turns white during winter snows. Continuing through the valley, you'll see unique winter activity centers, including 'Cerro Castor,' the world's southernmost ski resort. Minutes later, after crossing the Encajonado River Valley, we'll pause to marvel at the magical, serene surroundings, capturing incredible southernmost images. During this thrilling moment, you'll enjoy unique panoramic views and toast with champagne before returning to Ushuaia. An exciting experience that will remain among your best memories!
