Beavers and Beaver in the Ushuaia Excursions<\/h1>\n

In the vicinity of\u00a0Ushuaia<\/strong>\u00a0beavers and their habitat, commonly called \"castorera\", can be observed. In the Tierra del Fuego National Park and in the End of the World Train they are very present and their characteristics can be appreciated.<\/p>\n

The beaver and its beaver farms<\/h2>\n

It is a semi-aquatic rodent native to North America, mostly from Canada that has been introduced in the region of Tierra del Fuego in 1946 after releasing 25 pairs in the northeast of Lake Fagnano. In this area they have modified thousands of hectares of land and have crossed the Beagle Channel to Chile.<\/p>\n

The exact number of specimens living in the area is unknown.\u00a0Ushuaia<\/strong>\u00a0and its vicinity, but it is estimated to reach 200,000.<\/p>\n

Beavers live in cold, riparian areas and work as a community to make their homes, being the only species after humans to modify their environment in order to live. Beaver lodges (called dams or burrows) are built to protect them from predators and to quickly access food during the winter. However, their function is to stop the flow of the current, to create a pool of calm water to build more \"rooms\".<\/p>\n

They can rebuild their beaver houses in the course of one night and are made of tree trunks, mud, branches and leaves.<\/p>\n

Excursions in Ushuaia to observe beaver colonies<\/h3>\n

There are several\u00a0excursions in Ushuaia<\/strong>\u00a0that allow you to see the beavers, either active or abandoned, but the two sites par excellence to learn more about this animal and its habitat are:<\/p>\n

Tierra del Fuego National Park: there you will find the \"Paseo de la castorera\" to observe the system of dams that the beavers have built on the stream that bears their name and the impact of this species. In addition, in the \"Paseo del Turbal\" you can see an abandoned beaver farm (400 meters from Lapataia Bay).<\/p>\n

The End of the World Train: During its journey it is possible to see old beaver farms of several years old, as well as other attractions such as the Pipo River and a large peat bog.<\/p>\n

When you visit the southernmost city in the world, you must visit at least one beaver plantation to prove that you have been in the region. Are you going to miss the\u00a0excursions to Tierra del Fuego National Park<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0to observe some of them?<\/p>\n
