Itinerary
An unforgettable experience!
Few things are as thrilling as seeing from above some of the paradisiacal places on our planet. Certainly, Tierra del Fuego is one of those paradises.
In this tour, you will have the privilege of flying over, in a private plane, several must-see points of this region, such as the Beagle Channel and its islands, Laguna Esmeralda, lakes Escondido and Fagnano, Estancia Haberton, and the town of Puerto Williams; always with the Andes revealing all its splendor.
Upon arriving at the old Ushuaia airport, we will meet our pilot who will provide us with some information about the route. Shortly after, we will board the plane and receive safety instructions.
The plane takes off, and we head towards Mount Olivia, entering the Tierra Mayor Valley, to see the famous Laguna Esmeralda and Cerro Castor, the main ski resort in Ushuaia.
Throughout the journey, the pilot keeps us informed about the places we fly over.
We follow the route of Route 3 until we reach its highest point, the incredible viewpoint Paso Garibaldi, from where we can see, among other wonders, Lake Escondido. A little further on, we can observe the vastness of Lake Fagnano, also known as Kami. Only in this way can we have an idea of the vastness of this lake.
We spot the town of Tolhuin, on the shore of the large lake, and then cross the mountain range again until we reach the region where the beautiful Estancia Haberton is located.
We fly over Martillo Island and Grande Island – where the penguins live – and return along the Beagle Channel flying very close to the town of Puerto Williams, located in Chile. We will have the opportunity to observe the rock formation known as “Dientes de Navarino” and also the fishing buildings of Puerto Almanza, already on the Argentine coast.
Flying over Estancia Remolino, we can see the ship Monte Sarmiento, which ran aground there in 1912, and a little further on, we observe the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, also known as the End of the World Lighthouse.
We return to the airport after a beautiful view of the city of Ushuaia, closing with a flourish this magnificent tour.
