A salt-laced wind from the Beagle Channel meets the bus at Ushuaia’s edge, and the city peels away into glacial valleys and stands of coihue forest. The road narrows, rivers rush beside you, and after stretches of glassy lagoon and a short forest walk there’s a pocket of human life: Puerto Almanza, a handful of fishing shacks where crab pots and light skiffs mark a livelihood still ruled by the weather.

A salt-laced wind from the Beagle Channel meets the bus at Ushuaia’s edge, and the city peels away into glacial valleys and stands of coihue forest. The road narrows, rivers rush beside you, and after stretches of glassy lagoon and a short forest walk there’s a pocket of human life: Puerto Almanza, a handful of fishing shacks where crab pots and light skiffs mark a livelihood still ruled by the weather.
This route follows paths scoured by Pleistocene ice—u-shaped valleys, moraine ridges, and a coastline shaped by rising seas and tidal currents. The Yámana people once navigated these channels; later, missionaries and settlers established remote fishing and small-scale farming. Today, you’ll pass Laguna Victoria, a tucked-away waterfall reached by a 10-minute walk, and an organic farm growing crops on land reclaimed from beaver activity—an odd, modern chapter in Tierra del Fuego’s ecological story.
At Punta Paraná a narrow path threads into an old coihue stand and ends at a small cabin where a wood fire and a dinner of local produce await. The walking is gentle—short trails under 0.5 km with negligible elevation gain—while coastal stretches expose you to sudden winds and changing light.
Practical notes: plan for windproof layers, waterproof footwear for muddy forest paths, and a camera with a lens hood. Expect roughly 6–7 hours total, including about 4 hours of driving; comfortable mobility is enough. Respect local fishing operations, watch for wildlife from the roadside, and time the visit for clearer weather to get the best views across the channel.
Walking is minimal—mostly short, easy walks like a 10-minute path to a waterfall and a brief forest approach to the cabin, each under 0.5 km.
Yes—the cabin has a wood fireplace and the excursion includes a dinner prepared with local products; drinks are noted as included in the tour details.
Conditions change fast; sunny spells can be followed by strong southwest winds and drizzle. Bring windproof and waterproof layers regardless of the season.
The tour is rated easy and suitable for most fitness levels, but the forest paths may be uneven; check with the operator about infant seats and accessibility specifics.
