Descripción del Tour:

We commence our journey from the tourist port of Ushuaia, heading towards the heart of the Beagle Channel. As we depart, we enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Ushuaia's coastline and the majestic Olivia and Five Brothers mountains.
Our voyage takes us southwest as we approach Isla de los Lobos. From the boat, we can observe sea lions in their natural habitat. We then proceed to Bird Island, home to Magellanic and Imperial Cormorants, offering a unique opportunity to spot diverse marine bird species. The furthest point of our navigation is the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, located in the namesake archipelago. On these islets, remnants of the Monte Cervantes ship, which sank in 1930, can be seen.
As we follow the southern coast of Tierra del Fuego's Big Island, we pass by Estancia Remolino, where the ship Monte Sarmiento lies stranded. Crossing the Beagle Channel from north to south, we encounter Gable Island and the Puerto Williams Naval Base (situated on Navarino Island, Republic of Chile). Upon reaching Hammer Island, we pause to admire the colony of Magellanic Penguins that nest there during the summer months.
We then make our way back to the local port, passing Estancias Tunnel and Fique along the route.
