SAN PABLO CAPE & ROLITO, 2 passangers. Total price 294 US dollars
Our treasure hunters John and Martha immersed themselves in this voyage to discover some of the unique pearls buried in this land. In this exclusive experience our couple discover a diverse geography and the labors of the people in Tierra del Fuego.
Very early in the morning, our Tierra Turismo Team left Ushuaia with our guests following National Route 3 and crossing The Andes through the Garibaldi Pass. Standing at 450 meters above sea level, this was one of the most interesting points of the trip. They had traveled about 60 kilometers when Lake Escondido surprised us in the middle of the high rocky walls. As they continues, they observed the ecosystem gradually transforming from the woods to the steppe at the northern part of the island, a region known for breeding the best lambs in the world.
We stopped by the little town of Tolhuin, heart of the island, to visit La Unión Bakery. This is a traditional meeting point for both locals and visitors and it is part of the charm of this village.

Long ago it carried many different cargoes, this time it was hundreds of cement bags that fell, resting like petrified mummies.
After exploring this mysterious giant, we visited the Estancia Rolito. This lovely ranch, that keeps the spirit of a family business based on sheep farming tradition, is the first ranch to open its gates to rural tourism. It is here that we paused for a delightful tea with home-made cakes, cookies and marmalades.
Our travelers also took some time to walk around part of the gorgeous 500-hectare ancient lenga forest, taking thick green pathways with the smell of wild mint and the chirping of birds dwelling in the foliage. They visited the shearing shed, where there were already some wool bales from the first shearing.
As the sun started to set, we made the last stop in a local micro-brewery in Tolhuin. There we learned about the craft beer production and of course, we tasted its different varieties directly from its.
