What you can expect

Aboard our comfortable buses, we’ll head north along the iconic National Route N 3. Along the way, we’ll take a short break to delve into the rich history of the region before continuing on the picturesque Provincial Route “J.” Our destination: Puerto Almanza, a charming fishing village located 70 km from Ushuaia.

From this delightful port, we’ll board a custom semi-rigid boat with a capacity for 22 passengers. We’ll sail for 30 minutes through the serene waters of the Beagle Channel, heading towards the famous Martillo Island. This magical place is home to a colony of Gentoo and Magellanic penguins, offering an unforgettable experience.

We’ll enjoy 40 minutes of observation from the boat, getting close enough to admire their behaviour in their natural habitat—a moment that will leave a lasting impression. Afterwards, we’ll return to Puerto Almanza, where you can relax and recharge before heading back to Ushuaia.

This 5.5-hour journey combines nature, history, and adventure, offering a unique experience in the heart of Tierra del Fuego. Get ready for an unforgettable encounter with wildlife!
