Itinerary
We start the navigation departing from the Tourist Pier of the city, towards the Beagle Channel, admiring the panoramic view as we move away from the coast of Ushuaia, spotting the most important buildings: the Maritime Museum (former prison), the Museum of the End of the World, the industrial area, and the Olivia and Cinco Hermanos Mountains.
We will then head to the Bridges Islands where we will make our stop and descent. During the excursion you will be able to enjoy and admire attractions such as the Yámanas Conchero, archaeological remains of the original inhabitants of the Beagle Channel. A few meters from the dock are deposits of the settlements of the Yámanas or Yaganes, we will enter one of them and, from the explanations of the guide, we will be able to imagine how they lived. As we go through the interpretation circuit, we will appreciate the particular development that plants, flowers and fruits reach in this special ecosystem. We get back on board and sail southwest, approaching Los Lobos Island, where, from the boat, we can enjoy the view of sea lions, observing their permanent habitat, in a wonderful scenery.
To continue with the navigation, we will go to Los Pájaros Island, habitat of Magellanic Cormorants and Imperial Cormorants and privileged sector to see specimens of the marine avifauna, from there, we will continue to Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, in the archipelago of the same name, where the ship Monte Cervantes was shipwrecked in 1930.
Finally, we return to Ushuaia through Paso Chico, sighting the Estancias Túnel and Fique, with a view of the imposing frame that gives the city the Mount Martial and the glacier of the same name.
