About this trip

Visit the oldest ranch in Tierra del Fuego, experiencing rural life in an imposing

country house. Contemplate the gracious Magellanic and Gentoo penguins, closing

the day with a scenic hike along a river’s coast, reaching to exclusive isolated spots.

We depart in the morning taking National Route 3 to its intersection with “J” Route,

where we turn into the coastal zone, bordering Lasifashaj s river valley, almost to the

mouth of the Beagle Channel in Brown Bay. When we get to the estancia we are

warmly received, making us feel at home. We will walk around the establishment,

learning about its history of wool activity. Through the windows of this rustic tea

room, the sight is lost in a wild scenery that mingles with the sky.

Later, we take a Zodiac boat to visit a huge colony of Magellanic and Gentoo

penguins. Rambling around these gracious seabirds respectfully, we learn about

their life and the ways of conservation. Exceptional photographs of this moment will

be one of the greatest memories of your trip.

Back on the ranch, we go to Cambaceres Bay and hike from there along the coast of

the river Lasifashaj up to a rough waterfall, a product of the narrowing river valley.

You will adore a unique sensation of solitude in an unforgettable landscape.

Back in 2003 we did these excursions with a different agency. After 20 years we went back with my son his new family and his 2 boys ages 4 & 7. The boys love cars and SUV’s and we all love the Land Rover’s Defenders. So when I saw that we could still do the same off road excursion to the wild Tierra del Fuego on the Defenders, I booked this 4X4 excursion. We all enjoyed it to the max. It was an experience to never forget. We were 5 adults and 2 children so we were divided in 2 Defenders. Both drivers were excellent and the narrative about the region’s geography and history was of academic level. Due to recent wild fires in the region we could not do the ‘asado a la parrilla’ at the refuge. So they took us to a ‘Posada.’ the food was very good and the staff very friendly. We all enjoyed the walk by the 2 lakes, Fagnano y Escondido. Late-morning we had a morning snack with regional pastries and coffee or tea in the wilderness. Unfortunately due to bad weather -strong winds- we could not get on the canoes, but the trip was well worthy. The next day we went to the Penguin's Island. What an experience for the little ones! The penguins let us get quite close to them. We remained on the island close to an hour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about he lives and biology of the fauna. We also saw 2 seals close to shore and number of local birds including the Cauquenes. What an experience!!!! I was very fortunate to have been able to bring my family to this exclusive site on earth.

I had such a great time with the TiERRA team! They were incredibly helpful and responsive through the booking and planning and once I was in Ushuaia. The tours are great - you get to see a true local’s view of this beautiful part of the world. The guides are friendly and very knowledgeable, and these tours are thoughtfully designed. Many thanks to Aye, Christian, and Tommy for such a great experience! Would highly recommend!

Mateus was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable and so much fun. The experiences were fabulous and he had lots of knowledge. Food was excellent except for Kaiken Inn. Dinner on the second night was not edible but no one seemed to care. The lunch on the last day with Diane was fabulous. An absolute must and a great way to end the tour. Thank you for a wonderful time!
