Our guides pick you from the hotel in one of our Land Rover Defender or Chevrolet TrailBlazer 4x4. We head to the north of the island along National Route 3 where we will observe the recognized winter centers of Ushuaia (and one of the most popular: Cerro Castor).
We’ll cross the Cordillera de los Andes until we arrive at a beautiful panoramic point of view to observe both Lakes. This point is known as the Garibaldi Pass. Here we ‘ll stop to take a few pictures. After that we started the real 4x4 adventure. We’ll cross paths of mud and water until we reach the imposing shore of *Fagnano Lake*. At this point, we get off the vehicles for a moment to contemplate this extraordinary place and its particular energy as well as to have a short morning snack.
We continue our day until we park in the middle of the forest, to take a short walk of approximately 10 to 15 minutes to our Shelter near of *Escondido Lake*, where we enjoy a delicious bite of cold cuts and choripan as an appetizer, while our guides cook a delicious roast narrow steak, which we accompany with salads and Malbec wine. Then, we explore the lake (Escondido) in *canoes* and top-of-the-line equipment, combining good exercise, relaxation and contemplation of nature. At the end of this activity, we return to Ushuaia in our vehicules.
The total time between preparation and canoeing is 45 min' (the paddling is approximately 20/25 minutes).
*The order of activities may vary due to operational or climatic reasons and canoeing may eventually be suspended for safety reasons.
Activities:
We wanted to inform you that in accordance with the environmental emergency regulation due to the forest fire that we are suffering in Tierra del Fuego (at the Corazón de la Isla area and the recent outbreak in Lago Escondido), we had to modify our excursion of Lakes 4x4 & Canoas, since that the same norm establishes the prohibition of lighting fires in wild areas (which affects our refuge in the middle of the forest). Therefore, at the moment, lunches will be provided at the Parador La Casona de Mary.
-3 course lunch

NOTE: We will continue doing the canoeing activity on the shores of Escondido Lake, whenever the weather allows it.
