Trekking & Canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park, Ushuaia

Tierra del Fuego National Park is one of the most frequently visited places around Ushuaia, the southernmost city before Antarctica. It's close to the city and isn't expensive to enter, which means it's wide open for locals and visitors alike. It covers a sizeable 155,000 acres, so this experience includes an expert guide who will show you the best hikes, lakes, and lookout points as you explore its many wonders. 

The 4.3-mile (7 km) hike runs on a coastal path that follows the Beagle Channel. It passes along seaside mountains and freshwater rivers as well as subantarctic forests and tranquil bays. You'll have prime views of the channel along the way, but you'll also get to enjoy the diverse flora and fauna of the area. The trail also passes remnants of ancient settlements once occupied by the Yámana indigenous people.

All told it's a brisk three-hour trek that culminates at Lago Roca where a hot lunch will be served. Then it's time to start the canoe ride down the Lapataia River. This waterway leads to the ultimate destination, Lapataia Bay. Located on the Beagle Channel, it sits at the end of the Pan American Highway and Nacional Route No. 3.
