Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Paso Garibaldi, Ruta Nacional 3 Km. 3086, Rio Grande V9420DIA Argentina
We will visit the Garibaldi Pass, the highest point of the crossing of the Andes mountain range, where you can discover the famous "Escondido Lake".
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Lago Escondido, Lago Escondido, Province of Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia
You are going to contemplate a glacial lake framed in the Andes mountain range. Crystal clear waters with species of trout for sport fishing, beavers and a great diversity of birds. Just 57 km north of Ushuaia, in an environment of native forest where Lenga predominates.
For this reason, until 2016 sawmills and timber production existed.
The original sheds and the old ovens of the
sawmill that offered work to professionals from Chile or the province of Misiones in Argentina, for their experience in logging.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Lago Fagnano, Tolhuin 9420 Argentina
One of the 3 largest lakes in Argentina.
In our cabins equipped with bathrooms and drinking water, on the shores of the lake we will have time to enjoy a pristine place, land where the "Onas of the North" lived, as the Yámanas Indians called the Shelknam Indians.
In that same magical lake, where for many it has a very personal meaning, energy and peace, we will enjoy the best Tandilense "Cagnoli" sausage, cheeses and a Malbec wine, of course, Mendocino.
Then we will enjoy the complete lunch with Argentine barbecue, "choripan", bife de chorizo and salad. Menu options for vegetarians and celiacs. Drinks included.

This excursion was a lot of bang for the buck. Duration was 9 hours. Our guide was a pleasant fellow born and raised in Ushuaia and his English skills were good. There were five of us, myself and four others from Buenos Aires. I don't speak much Spanish and they didn't speak much English but we had fun trying to converse. Of course, the guide translated a lot. The trip started with a hotel pickup and a couple of stops for photo ops north of Ushuaia. Then we began the off road part. We descended down dirt switchbacks to Hidden Lake and visited a creepy derelict hotel that was abandoned about 30 years ago. As we made our way around the lake we stopped two more times for photo ops. Then we visited a coffee shop to relax and enjoy the placid environment. The second part of the off road was to Lake Fagnano. We went to a rustic setting where lunch was prepared for us. It was very good and I have to say that meal would have cost at least $75 USD in Ushuaia. A vegetarian option was also available. Wine, coke, and water were the drinks of choice. We stayed there a while, enjoyed the Lakeside solitude and then departed for Ushuaia. We stopped one more time at a nature preserve to watch beavers actively building the largest beaver dam I've ever seen. There was a lot of wildlife throughout the trip. We saw Patagonia foxes and parello birds up close, and the beavers. This excursion was at a very relaxed pace. There was a schedule to keep, of course, but nothing was rushed. I would highly recommend this trip to see some of the beauty Tierra Del Fruego has to offer.

Ushuaia has to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I walked to another hotel to wait on a 4x4 adventure and the mountains were breathtaking. We drove east into the mountains and then north. We drove through the Bombillo forest. We were on a typical tourist route when we were on hardtop. No one followed off road. Our driver and guide, Mauricio, loves his job. He says he goes on vacation everyday. I spent the day as the only english speaker. Maricio spoke a little. It was a fun trying to learn about one another with Spanglish. I also listened to their conversations via google translate until we lost cell coverage. My travel partners were from Cordova, Argentina, two from Uruguay and two from La Plata. One was a nurse, one retired, one worked as a domestic in a school, one was a factory worker, and another was a ship's captain. We stopped and entered an abandoned house. Anyone up until 20 years ago could bid for a 10 year lease on the property from the government. They shut it down because the septic system was leaking into the lake(seems like they could have fixed that). The scenery around the home would never get tiring. We stopped for a coffee in a community of Escondido. They were roasting a pig. We stopped for an extended period of time at a semi-primitive camp. We ate sausage sandwiches, salad, some steak and a dulce de leche and nectarine dessert. Mauricio went above and beyond. We were treated to carancho (like an eagle), a red fox, and a hawk enjoying our leftover food. The lakes we saw were Hidden lake and Fagnano. The wind blowing off the lake was freezing. On the way back we stopped at a few more scenic spots. We went on a short hike above a beaver pond and watched them swim a little. It was an experience I will remember fondly forever.

Great day, lots of fun. Ramon was great. Of note, there are exactly six seats and all may be occupied, so, don’t take anything you don’t need.

Gonzalo was my guide for this (and a couple other Info de Ushuaia tours). He was excellent and the reason I used this company for several tours with this company during my week in Ushuaia. Riding in an SUV/4x4 over rough tracks, bouncing through puddles and creeks while also listening to
Info about the area, what we were seeing, and an excellent lunch. It was a great day.

Freddie our host was fantastic! Full of information and laughs. Weather wasn’t the best, but still good enough to be amazed by the country.
Great lunch with plenty of wine, so all in all a memorable day.
