It starts when we pick up our passengers at their hotels to take them to the Tierra del Fuego National Park, which is just 12 km away from the city. Before we get to the park, there is a previous stop: The Train of the End of the World. Those who wish to take this optional ride (not included) will be making the same way prisoners made many years ago, logging down trees and collecting firewood for the small old town of Ushuaia.

Day 3: Lakes Off-Road

After the departure from the hotel the tour goes through a glacial valley surrounded by snowy peaks up to the first stop at Garibaldi pass: the only road crossing the Fuegian Andes range. From here, high up the Andes Range, it is beautiful to see Lake Escondido, a small wonder at the bottom of the valley. Near the north end of Lake Escondido, and after leaving the paved road behind, the itinerary continues along a series of old paths that a sawmill opened in the forest, impassable for conventional vehicles, to approach Lake Fagnano, the fifth largest in Argentina. In the forest near the Fagnano coast there will be free time to walk and enjoy the place, while the guide prepares an abundant meal to be enjoyed comfortably in an exclusive refuge located in a natural environment, away from the noise of modern life.
