Description

❄️🦀 Ruta de la Centolla en invierno: gastronomía y naturaleza en Puerto Almanza y el Canal Beagle Ushuaia

¿Te imaginás conocer en invierno el pueblo de pesca artesanal más austral de nuestra Argentina, ubicado a orillas del legendario Canal Beagle y a sólo 70 km de Ushuaia?


Un día de aventura te espera en Almanza Port, donde no sólo vas a conocer el pequeño pueblo de pesca artesanal, sino que también vas a degustar un almuerzo con los productos más frescos directo del mar a tu mesa.


Dejamos atrás la ciudad para ir hacia el noreste de la isla, recorriendo unos 70 km por la Ruta de la Centolla. Vamos a recorrer la National Route N°3 con una parada en el Valle Carbajal viewpoint. En el camino aparecen los centros invernales de Ushuaia en plena actividad de temporada, como el famoso Cerro Castor (el centro de esquí más austral del mundo), y en Rancho Hambre nos desviamos para seguir por la Provincial Route J, que se adentra por el bosque autóctono de nothofagus and the serpenteante río Lasifashaj. Además, vas a conocer la Laguna Victoria and the famous Flag Tree, moldeado por los vientos patagónicos de la región.


Famoso por la calidad de sus productos del mar, using Almanza Port vas a conocer de cerca la vida de los pescadores locales que en temporada obtienen centollas, mejillones and pescados frescos.


Y como la culinary experience es el corazón y momento más especial de esta experiencia, en un típico restaurante local, vas a disfrutar platos preparados con los ingredientes frescos directos del Canal Beagle.


Antes de volver a Ushuaia, vamos a hacer una breve caminata to the Cascada del Duende, one of atractivos naturales más lindos de la zona. Un último momento para estirar las piernas, disfrutar del paisaje nevado y cerrar la experiencia conectando con la nature.


The tour The King Crab Route in Ushuaia es una experiencia gastronómica exclusiva, diseñada especialmente para aprovechar al máximo tu visita al Fin del Mundo en su época más colorida, ofreciendote una combinación perfecta entre naturaleza, cultura local y gastronomía tradicional del Canal Beagle.

YOUR DAY, STEP-BY-STEP:

1. The adventure starts right at your doorstep

We pick you up directly from your accommodation in Ushuaia para comenzar una jornada distinta, donde el landscape and the sabores del Canal Beagle se entrelazan.


Vamos a salir de la ciudad rumbo a la King Crab Route, hacia el norte y luego hacia el este de la isla, in an recorrido escénico que te va a llevar a conocer uno de los secretos mejor guardados de Tierra del Fuego, Almanza Port, a 70 km de Ushuaia.

2. National Route No. 3: valleys, winter centers, and historical sites

Comenzamos el recorrido transitando la Ruta Nacional N.º 3, una de las más emblemáticas del país, que atraviesa los valles y bosques más característicos de la región. Vas a pasar por el Carbajal Valley, con sus paisajes de montañas y turberas activas, y por la zona de los centros invernales, like Cerro Castor. También vas a conocer Rancho Hambre, a lugar clave en la historia fueguina, ya que allí se realizó el primer intento de asentamiento europeo en la isla.

3. Route J: scenic road to the Beagle Channel

Al desviar por la Ruta J, el entorno se vuelve cada vez más agreste y auténtico. Este camino de ripio, poco transitado, atraviesa bosques de lenga, turbas y ríos de deshielo, ofreciendo unique views towards the costa del Canal Beagle. Es una ruta pensada para quienes disfrutan de la naturaleza en estado puro and the placer de descubrir rincones poco explorados de Tierra del Fuego.

4. Scenic stop at the iconic Flag Tree

Nos detenemos a contemplar el Flag Tree, a formación natural cuya inclinación extrema, producto de los vientos del sur, se convirtió en símbolo del carácter de esta tierra. Desde acá vas a poder sacar fotos espectaculares del paisaje, con los valles y las montañas de fondo.

5. Arrival at Puerto Almanza: fishing village facing the Beagle Channel

Almanza Port es mucho más que una aldea: es el pueblo pesquero más austral del país, donde la vida gira alrededor del sea. Frente al >imposing Beagle Channel y de espaldas al bosque, un puñado de familias vive en contacto directo con la naturaleza, dependiendo día a día de lo que ofrecen sus aguas. You will feel the contraste con la ciudad apenas llegues: casas bajas, olor a mar, redes secándose al sol, y la calma del sur profundo.

6. Real stories of artisanal fishing at the End of the World

En este rincón aislado, vas a conocer el trabajo de pescadores artesanales que salen a diario en pequeñas embarcaciones para capturar centolla, mejillones, ostras y peces. Cada plato que llega a la mesa tiene detrás una historia de esfuerzo y tradición. Vas a ver cómo se trasladan los mariscos, cómo se procesan a mano y cómo el mar define cada jornada. Es un contacto genuino con la vida fueguina costera, que muy pocos viajeros llegan a experimentar.

7. Lunch with the freshest products: straight from the sea to your table

Vas a almorzar en un restaurante local with vista directa al Canal Beagle, surrounded by silencio y naturaleza. Your menú base incluye pescados o mariscos frescos del día, y si elegís la premium version de la excursión, vas a poder degustar centolla fueguina recién capturada, servida al natural o gratinada, según la preparación del día. Un verdadero festín del mar, en uno de los paisajes más australes del mundo.

8. Walk to the Cascada del Duende

After enjoying the exclusive lunch in Puerto Almanza and its coastal surroundings, we will take a brief accessible walk to the Cascada del Duende, one of the natural attractions of the area. The trail is easy and crosses lenga forests and riverside sections, allowing for a direct connection with nature as you approach this waterfall. This walk is ideal for stretching your legs and experiencing an active moment during the excursion before starting the return to Ushuaia.

9. Panoramic return to Ushuaia with the taste of the south

Después de almorzar, emprendemos el regreso a Ushuaia por el mismo camino panorámico. Volvemos con otra luz, otra mirada and backed by recuerdo de haber visitado un lugar auténtico, donde el mar, la historia y la vida cotidiana se entrelazan en una experiencia tan simple como inolvidable.

 The order of activities may vary depending on the day's organization, but the quality of your experience will always be respected.

🚀 Do not miss this unique winter experience. Book now and discover the End of the World in its most magical season!

I booked everything with Info (TRANSFERS, NATIONAL PARK AND END OF THE WORLD TRAIN, BEAGLE CHANNEL NAVIGATION, WHITE NIGHT — snowmobile and snowshoes — EMERALD LAGOON TREK, LAKES), and I even received an upgrade that included lunch (Patagonian lamb barbecue at Las Cotorras Winter Center), which wasn’t originally included in the Lakes experience. It also featured a 4x4 adventure, a snack platter and wine by Lake Fagnano…

We did several activities with the company and had no issues at all. The guides (Jacqueline, Marcos, Javier) and the driver (Guille) were excellent. We also arranged the transfers to and from the airport with them, and they were truly very punctual — totally recommended.

We did two excursions with the agency. The 4x4 Lakes tour was unbeatable!!! Luis, the driver, was amazing. And White Day was super fun. Ramón, the guide, was a 10. In both experiences, they delivered everything they promised and more. The agency and the excursions are highly recommended!

Hi!! I’m stopping by to share our experience. We booked 3 excursions with the agency (White Day, National Park and 4x4 Lakes). First of all, I want to highlight the attention from every single person who assisted us. From inquiries and reservations to the guides — everyone was super friendly and more than willing to help. They always arrived exactly at the scheduled time to pick us up. Our guides were Luis, Jaquie and Marcos. All three were absolutely amazing!!! ...

Honestly, from the moment I reached out via WhatsApp, they replied right away. They helped me organize my schedule so I could arrange several transfers on the same day. Estefi, who assisted us at the office, advised us and organized everything so it would turn out perfectly. She was always kind and willing to help. They truly made all our transfers much easier, with great attitude and punctuality — so big kudos to the drivers as well. Thank you, Info Ushuaia! 💕

Honestly, I want to highlight everything from the very first message I sent asking about the excursion until it ended. I truly value the effort of Estefanía Bonansea (the excursion sales representative), as well as Gaby, the driver who took us along the King Crab Route on Thursday, July 4. The quality of service they provided to us as tourists was truly outstanding — every detail, every piece of information…

We arrived in Ushuaia on Monday, July 22, 2024, at 1 p.m., and that same night we went to White Night at Las Cotorras Winter Center — one of the best experiences of our lives. The adrenaline of riding snowmobiles at night, the guided snowshoe walk with a super friendly guide who took photos of us during our very first snowfall ever, the sledding that let us feel like kids again and laugh so much, and finally the delicious dinner…

100% recommended! With Info Ushuaia we did WHITE DAY / END OF THE WORLD TRAIN / NATIONAL PARK / BEAGLE CHANNEL AND 4X4… Always punctual and attentive, keeping an eye on every detail. Their staff is excellent… Applause for Sarai, who helped me make our experience outstanding.

We’re from Mexico. From the very first interaction with Joaquina, the young woman who helped us choose the packages, we knew everything would go very well. I went with my wife and we loved it. We were lucky that a lot of snow had fallen the day before, and it kept snowing that day as well. They first took us to a beautiful husky dog shelter. The dogs were super friendly and the photos were incredible. After that, they explained everything about the shelter and served us hot chocolate…
