It includes private transport, a guide in Spanish, English or Portuguese and park admission.
What you’ll experience on the Tierra del Fuego National Park tour
- Your first Beagle Channel postcard: at Ensenada Zaratiegui Bay, with Redonda Island in front of you and the water at your feet.
- The quiet of the forest: you walk among lenga, ñire and guindo beech, cross the Lapataia River bridge and, in autumn, watch the forest turn red.
- A lake shared by two countries: Argentina and Chile share Lake Acigami (Roca), and the border is right there in front of you.
- The end of the road: at Lapataia Bay, the only Argentine fjord on the Beagle Channel, National Route 3 ends at the water’s edge, and you walk among Yámana shell middens left by the first inhabitants.
Who it’s for
It is the ideal Tierra del Fuego National Park half-day tour if you want to see the essentials without rushing: it combines panoramic stops with forest walks adapted to the day’s conditions. Each of our three park tours has its own style: if you dream of riding the End of the World Train, there is the tour that combines it with the park; if you want a full day of adventure, the hike and canoe tour takes you paddling all the way to Lapataia Bay.
Just bring a waterproof jacket, warm layers and proper hiking shoes: that is all you need. And since your afternoon is free, you can add an afternoon Beagle Channel cruise or a city tour.
