Itinerary

1. Visit to the Lake Escondido

   • Leave Ushuaia after picking you up from your accommodation. We'll take the National Route No. 3, northbound. Once the Beagle Channel is left behind, the first look of the Olivia and Cinco Hermanos mountains emerges. Then, the Carbajal valley, which is formed by an immense peatland and has now been exploited for commercial purposes.
   • Following the path you will see on both sides of the route, several valleys where different activities are carried out in winter (such as sledging by Huskies, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling).
   • Arriving at the highest point for the crossing of the Andes mountain range in Tierra del Fuego Argentina, we will be in front of the Garibaldi Pass (the only place in the country were crossing the Andes mountain range does not imply crossing a border, we continue traversing the same national territory). This is a panoramic point with spectacular views of the Escondido and Fagnano Lakes and the old National Route No. 3 in a framework of the Patagonian Andean forest, a landscape of breathtaking beauty.
   • Resume the route until passing through the Bronzovich sawmill, active and of important size on the coast of Lake Escondido. Then you will reach Lake Fagnano, where you will descend again to appreciate and understand the enormous magnitude of the lake, one of the largest in South America, more than 100 km long and 7 km wide.
   • On the way back to Ushuaia,  stop at one of the winter centres and have time to have lunch: a typical dish of the area, Fuegian Lamb at the stake (drinks not included). After dessert, there will be a moment of relaxation and then we shall retrace the last 20 km towards Ushuaia, arriving around 4 PM.
