We pick you up directly from your accommodation in Ushuaia in our 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado trucks, prepared for both the Scenic National Route N°3 and the alternative trails of the off-road trailadventure. The start of the journey is an invitation to discover the Ushuaia spring: peat bogs framed by snowmelt streams, forests regaining their green color, and mountains completing the landscape.
The first stop is the Valle Carbajal viewpoint, a glacial scene where the contrast between the peat bogs and the mountains creates a unique postcard view, enhanced by the midday light and the renewed tones of the season.
Further on, we arrive at Siberianos del Fuego, where the Siberian huskies await with their characteristic energy. You'll be able to get close, pet them, and learn how they are part of the mushing in Ushuaia, a heartwarming encounter that always leaves lasting memories.
Lunch is enjoyed at Villa Las Cotorras, a historic winter center where the warm and family-friendly atmosphere combines with the best local gastronomy. The classic all-you-can-eat Patagonian lamb is the star dish, though you can also choose from chicken, milanesas, or homemade pasta.
With renewed energy, it's time for the exclusive activities. First, an ATV (quad bike) ride, pure adrenaline amidst a natural environment that comes alive in spring. Afterwards, a hike to an active beaver colony, where you'll discover how these animals have shaped the landscape with their dams, surrounded by a forest in full bloom.
The afternoon brings us to the Paso Garibaldi viewpoint, the only cross-Andean pass on the island, offering two iconic postcard views: the Escondido Lake, surrounded by green forests, and Fagnano Lake, stretching to the horizon like an inland sea.
After a brief stop at the traditional Casona de Mary, one of the most awaited moments arrives: the off-road section in the Bombilla Nature Reserve. The 4x4 trucks navigate through mud, roots, and hidden trails that only these vehicles can handle, offering a dose of adrenaline and adventure through untouched forests and landscapes.
The grand finale takes place on the shores of Fagnano Lake, one of the largest in our Argentina. There, you'll have free time to walk along the coast, take photos, and enjoy a a "picada" (a classic Argentine snack platter) with drinks, as the day winds down and evening begins at the End of the World.
Finally, we return you to your accommodation in Ushuaia, with the satisfaction of having lived a full day of 4x4 adventure, history, nature, and Patagonian flavors, all framed by the unique energy of the Patagonian spring.

Tuvimos la posibilidad de coincidir con esta agencia para realizar nuestras excursiones en Ushuaia y estamos más que contentos. La primera de ellas fue el Parque Nacional + Tren y la atención y visita guiada de Jaqueline fue excelente. Luego fuimos a la excursión de pingüinera y si bien es con otra agencia, de igual forma estuvo genial
La que más disfrutamos fue la de Lago Fagnano y Escondido en 4x4. Guillermo nos acompañó desde el minuto uno con mucha empatía, respeto y sentido del humor...
We booked this tour months before our arrival in Ushuaia. Their communications are clear and timely. We were picked up from our hotel on time. The bus was comfotable and safe. Our guide, Elieen, was excellent. She is pleasent and knowledgeable. She shared a lot of information about history and culture. We were dropped off at the train station. Eileen helped us with our train ticckets and made sure we were in line for boarding. The scenery along the train route was awesome...
La excursión por el Canal de Beagle es espectacular, el guía dio muchos detalles en su explicación sobre el faro, sobre las especies marinas y también la historia de Tierra del Fuego,muy interesante paseo y bellísimos paisajes y vistas del Beagle desde el catamarán. Cumplí un sueño allí . Gracias ️
Mis papás fueron a Ushuaia 1 semana y quise darles la sorpresa de ir sin avisarles, por lo que contraté la excursión 4x4 (de las mejores) y darles la sorpresa al pasarlos a buscar.
La agencia atendió a mí solicitud , les expliqué que iba a ser una sorpresa a mí familia y les pedí que pasaran por mí a mí alojamiento primero y luego buscar a mis padres.
Cumplieron con excelencia , fueron de gran ayuda y cómplices de mí sorpresa...
Agradable paseo en catamarán por el canal beagle con paradas en el faro y la isla de pingüinos de Martillo.
Este viaje es agradable y vale la pena si te gustan los faros y los pingüinos. El catamarán se acerca a los lugares de interés, y pasa mucho tiempo allí para permitir a los turistas obtener sus fotos. Vimos 3 tipos de pingüinos: Magallanes, Gentoo y un pingüino rey.
Hay una cafetería a un precio razonable que sirve bebidas, sándwiches, galletas y aperitivos...
El paseo es hermoso, increíbles paisajes. El paseo en el tren es una experiencia, todo muy bien organizado para que todos disfruten del viaje, el relator del recorrido es muy claro en sus descripciones y datos históricos. No te lo pierdas
