Itinerary
Upon your arrival at Tierra del Fuego airport, our guide will accompany you to the hotel in this new city. Ushuaia, the southernmost city on the continent, is located on the banks of the Beagle Channel.
Overnight in Ushuaia: Patagonia Jarke, Garden Whyndam, Los Cauquenes Ushuaia Resort & SPA.
Meals Included: none.
Among the destinations for sea kayaking in the Beagle Channel, the East offers a sense of freedom and distance from civilization that takes us back to the time when the Yamana inhabited this remote part of the planet.
We leave at 8:00 AM, and after 70 km of travel to Bahía Brown, the chosen place to begin our adventure in kayak, we will have gone through the primordial forest along the route J. Bahia Brown has an incredibly beautiful landscape and also has a famous group of "flag" trees. After kitting out the double sea kayaks, it's time to enjoy the most beautiful beaches and remote bays along the Beagle Channel.
After kayaking for about 2 hours, and once we arrive at the uninhabited Gable Island, the largest of the Beagle Channel, we will find our refuge, a picturesque construction that we have restored without altering its past. There we will relax while enjoying a delicious hot meal. After lunch, we will take a walk on the island, and we will have the opportunity to kayak once more before dinner.
When the night comes, and after a very active day, we will sleep in the middle of the Beagle Channel, "off the grid" and camping under the southern stars.
Overnight in Ushuaia.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch Dinner.
During the second day, after breakfast, we will make the most of a full day kayaking in this vast, wild and tranquil area. To really enjoy two very exciting days, we put at your disposal all the necessary equipment and security, and specialized, bilingual guides (Spanish-English).
*Between November and April the hours vary according to the duration of the days.
Overnight in Ushuaia.
Meals Included: Breakfast.
We depart from Ushuaia heading north until we reach the detour of the provincial road “J”, which will take us back to the Beagle Channel. We stop at Laguna Victoria for refreshments. Once in Brown Bay, we will take a detour to see the famous flag trees, a peculiarity created by the area's southwestern winds.
After spending some time in this place, we will return to the vehicle and head to Puerto Almanza, the main port for artisanal fishermen, where they are mainly dedicated to catching crab.
Passing Puerto Almanza, a few kilometers away, we will arrive at the house of one of the most renowned fisherwomen in the area, not only for her activity and trajectory, but also because she is the only captain of the Beagle Channel (Diana). She awaits us at her home to guide us step by step in preparing and tasting the dishes of the surprising Beagle Channel, providing us with an unforgettable gastronomic and social experience.
Overnight in Ushuaia.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch.
Free day for optional activities and to continue exploring the island. Depending on your itinerary, our guide will accompany you to the airport for your next flight.
Reviews from travelers who designed their Argentina trip with our team, published on Google, Tripadvisor and Trustpilot. Each card links to the original review.
I had a wonderful trip and would do it again in a heartbeat! Eva helped me plan everything and was always available before and during my trip to answer questions. She tailored accommodations and travel times within the country to make my visit relaxed and enjoyable at the same time. I felt a sincere desire in her to provide me with the best experience. I also appreciated the driver they chose for me, Eduardo. He was not only trustworthy but also very knowledgeable about the area highlights and history. I would highly recommend Argentina Pura and Eva to anyone who would like to visit Argentina.
It has been a positive experience working with Argentina Pura from the first engagement when I filled the form on their website till the time we’ve returned back home. They were quick to respond and helped to tailor a well planned trip. It was challenging to include all the destinations I asked for in the time we had for the trip, and yet they managed to do it in the most efficient and enjoyable way. What was more amazing was how smoothly everything ran. All the flights were on time, the transfers, the excursions. It was well organized and the team was highly professional, friendly, knowledgeable and spoke English extremely well. We had the most amazing time in Argentina and big part of it is thanks to the professionalism of this agency. Highly recommended!
What an amazing experience! The team put together a 3-day program for me to visit and experience the true Patagonia. Perfect organization - special thanks to Eva Echeveste for her patience and guidance - friendly staff, which made this dream of mine come true! Thank you so much!

I have already traveled with this company on 3 occasions. To Mendoza, to Bariloche and surrounding areas, and the last time to the North. It was a pleasure to "travel to Argentina", and with them it becomes even easier, since they made everything very easy for us, the hotels, the transfers and the excursions. Never a problem. To recommend!!
