About this trip

We go in our modern minibuses in a northeast direction along National Route 3 & Complementary Route J, on the way to the legendary Harberton Ranch, always accompanied by our specialized guides providing the best information and evacuating any questions that may arise. 


Once there, we will have a guided tour of the historic center and then we will sail from the Harberton dock to Martillo Island, a 15-minute ride, in a semi-rigid boat (ship suitable for navigation in the area - ZODIAK). On the island, we will walk for 1 hour between Papuan and Magellanic penguins, always with a guide, experiencing a unique adventure.



Penguins settle on the island during the summer, sharing their habitat with other birds, such as skuas (their main predator), petrels, cormorants, vultures, and South American terns. 

Martillo Island, in the Beagle Channel, is part of the Harberton Ranch, and home to the Magellanic Papuan penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus).



Upon returning to the ranch, we will be able to visit the museum of birds and mammals for more information on the fauna of the area. On our return to the city of Ushuaia along route J, we will make a last scenic stop to see the flag tree. Icon of the place for adopting this form due to the action of the wind.

We had prompt courteous service. We were well prepared for the amazing Iguazú Falls trip. Communication with Que Hacer was exceptional. Fortunately flights from Buenos Aires were on time. Our guide Mickaela was knowledgeable and gave an insightful explanation of the rain forest and the falls. First class private tour. Highly recommended

Great tour, good value for money, everything was perfectly organized and the Iguazu Falls are just spectacular! Only thing I didn't realize before is that you really get SOAKING WET on the boat tour - bringing a swimsuit is recommended! ;-) Many thanks Julian@Que hacer en Buenos Aires, for making it possible within just a couple of hours.

This was a great trip! A guide (Hector) and driver met me at the airport and took me directly to Iguazu Falls. I was able to do all the trails on the Argentina plus the incredibly fun boat ride in one day. There is no way I could have done this in one day without Hector! He was very knowledgeable about the park, and added to the experience in multiple ways.
