3.Tierra del Fuego Trekking and Canoeing

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 75 reviews · 8 hours · from $158

Spend eight hours with a bilingual guide in Tierra del Fuego National Park, combining forest trails, a dome lunch, and a one-hour paddle in stable inflatable canoes. You will cross from the Lapataia River toward Lapataia Bay, with equipment, drinks, and Ushuaia hotel transfers included.

“La parte con la canoa é stata la più divertente (e faticosa), le guide sono state bravissime, ci hanno fornito tutte le informazioni e le indicazioni. Pranzo al DOME molto caratteristico, ovviamente spartano come era facile immaginare. Il trekking é la parte meno riuscita: organizzazione ottima ma forse si potevano scegliere sentieri più panoramici.”

4.Small group Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier and Témpanos Lagoon

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 68 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $149Top rated

Hike from Ushuaia through Fuegian forest to Témpanos Lagoon and Vinciguerra Glacier on an eight-hour trip. Guides such as Gisela, Violeta, Leo, and Marissa lead groups of up to 14, with lunch, hot drinks, transport, insurance, poles, and crampons when needed.

“Consideramos esse um passeio imperdível ao vir em Ushuaia. Tudo foi impecável nesse passeio, um destaque para os guias Violeta e Manuel que além de compartilhar bastante informações sobre o lugar, nos ajudaram durante todo o trajeto para garantir que a subida iria ocorrer da melhor forma possível. O kit de almoço também era de qualidade e ainda vem com um copo super charmoso de brinde como souvenir de Ushuaia. O fato de ser um grupo pequeno também consideramos como positivo, já que os guias podem nos dar mais atenção e suporte.”
