🚁🌸 30-Minute Helicopter Flight over Ushuaia: city, Laguna Esmeralda, and landing in the Andes

Can you imagine experiencing the most complete helicopter flight over Ushuaia?


This 30-minute helicopter flight combines in a single experience the most sought-after landscapes of the city with one moment that truly sets it apart: landing in the heart of the Andes Mountains and stepping out of the helicopter to raise a glass of champagne, an experience that very few people have the privilege of enjoying.


The experience begins by flying over Ushuaia, the Bay, and the Beagle Channel, so you can see from the air how the southernmost city in the world stretches between the sea, the mountains that still retain snow on their peaks, and the forests that begin to bloom again with the arrival of spring.


We continue toward the Olivia River Valley, dominated by two of the best-known mountains in the Ushuaia area: Mount Olivia and Mount Cinco Hermanos; then over the Carbajal Valley, with its forests, lagoons, and vast peat bogs; and the famous Laguna Esmeralda, with its distinctive color that gives it its name, created by glacial sediments coming from Ojo del Albino Glacier. In addition, we fly over the Cerro Castor area, the southernmost ski resort in the world.


And then comes the most special moment of this experience: landing in the Encajonado River Valley, where you’ll step out of the helicopter and enjoy a champagne toast in the heart of the mountains, surrounded by mountains, in a place that very few people have the opportunity to reach.


If you’re looking for an aerial excursion that truly has it all –city, valleys, lagoons, mountains, and a landing with a toast–, this 30-minute helicopter flight is one of the most complete and exclusive experiences you can enjoy during your trip to Ushuaia.

YOUR DAY, STEP-BY-STEP:

1. Your adventure begins at your accommodation

We’ll pick you up directly from your accommodation in Ushuaia and head to the Ushuaia Heliport, located at the city’s old airport.


Once there, our team will welcome you and give you a brief safety briefing, explaining the details of the flight before you board the helicopter and begin the aerial experience.

2. Your flight over the southernmost city in the world begins

As soon as the helicopter takes off, you’ll see Ushuaia from the air. The city unfolds beneath you as the flight opens out toward Ushuaia Bay and the Beagle Channel, revealing a completely different perspective of the End of the World.


From above, you’ll be able to see its colorful buildings, the Ushuaia Prison, the Port, and how the city stretches between the sea and the surrounding mountains, revealing the geography that makes Ushuaia such a distinctive place.

3. You’ll fly over the Olivia River Valley

The aerial adventure continues toward the Olivia River Valley, to the northeast of the city, one of the most recognizable mountain landscapes surrounding Ushuaia. From the air, you’ll see Mount Olivia and Mount Cinco Hermanos, two of the most iconic mountains that shape the city’s landscape, from a perspective that very few people get to experience.

4. You’ll discover the magical Carbajal Valley

The helicopter continues its flight toward the Carbajal Valley, a wide glacial valley surrounded by mountains north of the city. From the air, you’ll be able to distinguish the well-known peat bogs, vast wetlands formed by the accumulation of vegetation over thousands of years.


You’ll also see lagoons, watercourses, and areas of lenga forest, which complete one of the most characteristic natural landscapes surrounding Ushuaia. From this altitude, you can appreciate the scale of the valley and the way these environments are distributed among the mountains.

5. We fly over the famous Laguna Esmeralda

Now comes one of the most special moments of this helicopter flight in Ushuaia: the flight over Laguna Esmeralda, the most famous lagoon in the city. From the air, you’ll be able to distinguish its characteristic green color, the feature that gives it its name and makes it one of the most recognizable landscapes in the destination.


From this perspective, you’ll also be able to appreciate the mountain setting that surrounds it and the presence of Ojo del Albino Glacier high above, completing one of the most striking views of the entire experience. This is the moment when the flight offers one of its most sought-after images and allows you to take home a postcard of Ushuaia that very few people ever get to see from the air.

6. You’ll discover Cerro Castor from the air

The helicopter flight also includes a very special moment: the flight over the Cerro Castor area, the southernmost ski resort in the world, located along National Route No. 3, 26 km from Ushuaia.


From the helicopter, you’ll be able to recognize the mountain, the base of the ski resort, the layout of its slopes, and the ski lifts spread across the mountainside. Seeing from the air one of the places most closely associated with winter in Ushuaia adds another dimension to the experience and signals that the flight is entering one of its most special sections, before the landing in the heart of the Andes.

7. You land in the Andes for an unforgettable toast

Now comes the most anticipated moment of the entire experience: the landing in the Encajonado River Valley, in the heart of the Andes Mountains. Here, you’ll step out of the helicopter and enjoy a truly different moment, surrounded by mountains and a landscape that gives this flight a much more exclusive character.


In this setting, you’ll share a champagne toast, the detail that truly sets this experience apart and turns it into much more than just a helicopter flight. It’s a moment to pause, look around, and enjoy a place that cannot be reached in a conventional way.

8. We return to the city

After flying over some of Ushuaia’s most beautiful landscapes and landing in the mountains, we begin the return toward the city until we land once again at the Ushuaia Heliport.

9. We take you back to your accommodation

We’ll take you back to your accommodation after this unforgettable aerial adventure.


You’ll return with the satisfaction of having seen Ushuaia from the air and of having experienced one of the most exclusive adventures at the End of the World.

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

🚀 Don't miss out on this unique spring experience. Book now and discover the End of the World during its most vibrant season!

    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...

    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...
