Itinerary
Feel the thrill of flying over the Andes Mountains by helicopter!
Flying by helicopter is already an incredible experience! Now imagine the sensation of soaring over the wild Argentine Patagonia, getting close to gigantic mountains, flying through their valleys, observing lagoons with wonderful colors formed by the melting of ancient glaciers, enjoying the impressive Beagle Channel, and having a beautiful view of the city of Ushuaia.
After a brief safety instruction, we’ll depart from the Ushuaia aeroclub towards the Martial Glacier, to admire the vastness of ice of this imposing mountain. Heading east, we fly along the Carbajal Valley, passing by the Vinciguerra mountains and reaching the Emerald Lagoon. After being enchanted by its beautiful green hue, we ascend to the top of the Albino’s Eye glacier and have the opportunity to observe the lagoon from an extraordinary angle!
From there, we head towards the Beagle Channel and have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of this historic channel, which borders Argentina and Chile. We observe Navarino Island, located on the Chilean side of the Beagle, and then head to Cerro Le Cloch, where we will land!
We disembark from the helicopter to enjoy this unforgettable moment, facing the majestic Mount Olivia, and many other peaks of the Andes, as well as the beautiful view of the city, toasting with a delicious sparkling wine at 1100m altitude!
The landing is made in the Andes Mountains, but there is no specific location, it will be done according to weather conditions.
