An e-bike (e-fatbike) tour of about 8 hours from Ushuaia: you ride 30 km from the old sawmill at Lake Escondido up to the Garibaldi Pass lookout, with 450 m of elevation gain and views of Lake Escondido and, in the distance, Lake Fagnano. Easy to moderate. Pick-up from your accommodation and a guide in Spanish, English or Portuguese are included.
Our Garibaldi Pass e-bike tour is a different way to cross the Fuegian Andes: you ride from Lake Escondido up to one of the standout viewpoints on the route, with your e-fatbike’s motor giving you a boost on every climb. Transport and guide are sorted from Ushuaia; all you do is pedal and take in the scenery.
What you will experience on the Garibaldi Pass e-bike tour
- Start at Lake Escondido: the adventure begins at the old sawmill on the lakeshore, surrounded by forest and mountains.
- Forests and lakes on fat tires: the fat bike and electric assist carry you through the wild landscapes of Tierra del Fuego, with fresh mountain air on your face.
- Climb to the Garibaldi Pass lookout: 450 m of elevation gain you enjoy bend by bend as the view opens up.
- Two lakes at your feet: at the top, Lake Escondido spreads out below and, in the distance, the vast Lake Fagnano, which you see from the lookout (the route does not reach its shore). Time to look, breathe and take the photo of the trip.
Who this Ushuaia bike tour is for
It is for anyone after an active adventure without being an expert cyclist: the difficulty is easy to moderate and the e-bike helps you on the climb. It is a summer outing, ideal for mixing exercise and nature in a full day. Just bring trekking boots, waterproof pants and a waterproof jacket: that is all you need.
To learn more about the area, see our Garibaldi Pass, Lake Escondido and Fagnano destination. And if you would rather cross the pass without pedaling, the beaver watching tour with dinner crosses it in the afternoon and ends with a three-course dinner.
