    All about the USHUAIA – 4 DAYS 3 NIGHTS.

    Ushuaia is located in Patagonia, in the province of Tierra del Fuego. Tierra del Fuego’s landscape changes drastically with each season. The late spring brings the first hints of colors that in summer will completely invade grasslands, forests and peatlands. During autumn, lengas and ñires turn into thousand ochre shades that make forests and woods look like fire at sunset. In winter, a long white veil comes from the peaks and covers almost everything. Admiring the southern nature’s beauty is always breathe-taking. Travelers shall wander about lenga and coihue leafy forests; they can go even further where the glaciers leave their scars on the earth. Willing to touch the ice is an irresistible desire. In their way, they will find turquoise water mirror and, at the same time, milk-color water streams.

      We start sailing from the Tourist Wharf of our city, towards the Beagle Channel, enjoying as we move away, from the panoramic view of the coast of Ushuaia, spotting the most important buildings, Maritime Museum (former presidio), Museum of the End of the World, the industrial area, and the Olivia and Cinco Hermanos mountains.

      In addition to having the experience of walking on a small island in the middle of the Beagle Channel, the objective is to appreciate the following three fundamental attractions:
      Concharo Yámanas: archaeological remains of the original inhabitants of the Beagle Channel. A few meters from the dock there are deposits from the Yámanas or Yaganes settlements, we will enter one of them and, based on the guide’s explanations, we will imagine how they lived. In addition, a cut in the wall of the conchero will allow us to better understand and observe the stratification of the discarded mussel shells.

      Interpretation of the particular flora of an island in the middle of the Beagle Channel.
      Going through the interpretation circuit, we appreciate the particular development that plants, flowers and fruits achieve in this special ecosystem. We return to embark and sail towards the southwest, approaching the island of Los Lobos, where, from the boat, we can enjoy the sight of specimens of sea lions, observing their permanent habitat, in a wonderful scenery.
