A full-day tour, about 8 hours, in Tierra del Fuego National Park: a 7 km hike on the Coastal Trail, lunch in nature and a trip in inflatable canoes to Lapataia Bay. It includes pick-up from your accommodation, a guide in Spanish, English or Portuguese, lunch with drinks and canoeing equipment.

Your day on the Tierra del Fuego National Park hike and canoe tour

  • The Coastal Trail: 7 km on foot with the Beagle Channel on one side and the forest on the other, the smell of the sea and the wind on your face.
  • Lunch in the heart of nature: a break to recharge in the middle of the park, with vegetarian and gluten-free options.
  • Canoes on rivers and lakes: you board an inflatable canoe, the only way to paddle the park’s rivers and lakes, and see the forest from the water.
  • Lapataia Bay from the water: you paddle into the only Argentine fjord on the Beagle Channel, where National Route 3 ends.

Who it’s for

It is for you if you love walking and spending the day outdoors: of our three park tours, it is the most active and the only one that reaches Lapataia Bay by canoe. If you have half a day, the classic National Park tour covers the essentials in about 4 hours; and if you want to ride a historic train, there is the End of the World Train tour.

Just bring a waterproof jacket, warm layers and shoes with non-slip soles for the forest: we provide the technical canoeing equipment.

Check availability for your date and experience Tierra del Fuego National Park from land and water.
