Crafting Argentina Experiences · One Journey at a Time
Ushuaia sits at 54° south, between the Martial range and the Beagle Channel. Everything you come for is a day trip from town: the channel is at the pier, Tierra del Fuego National Park is 12 km west and the penguin colony on Martillo Island is a morning away. That is why our Ushuaia tours keep you in one hotel and change only the day, not the bag.
Five ways to use Ushuaia as a base, sorted from shortest to longest. Every route sleeps in the same bed all week: the channel, the park and the train are all day trips from town.

Prices are per person, from, for the 2026 to 2027 season. Per day is a comparison aid, not how the trip is billed. Every itinerary is tailor-made and quoted individually.
The number of days decides what you leave out. This is what fits, without rushing a single morning.
Two days cover the two things nobody skips. Day one, you sail the Beagle Channel past the sea lion colony and the Les Éclaireurs lighthouse. Day two, you walk the coastal trail in Tierra del Fuego National Park to Lapataia Bay, where National Route 3 ends.
We build two-day trips to order, usually around an Antarctica cruise. Tell us your dates
The third day is the one that changes the trip. From October to the end of March you use it for Estancia Harberton and the penguins on Martillo Island. The rest of the year you cross the Garibaldi Pass to lakes Escondido and Fagnano.
With four days you add a trek: Laguna Esmeralda in half a day, or the Martial Glacier above town. You also get a spare day, and in Ushuaia that matters, because the channel closes to boats when the wind picks up.
Classic Ushuaia takes four days; the five-day trips add Gable Island, canoes or a table with king crab
Every trip on this page runs with a local guide. What changes is how much of it you share.
Your quote comes with shared excursions and a private room. You share the boat and the vehicle on the day trips, and the hotel room is yours.
How most travellers do Ushuaia
If you want your own vehicle, your own guide and your own departure time, ask and we price the trip that way.
Quoted trip by trip

If you prefer a paddle to a catamaran, the same places have a harder version.
You kayak the Beagle Channel and canoe inside Tierra del Fuego National Park.
The channel and the park, at water level
You leave Route 3 for the forest tracks and drive along the shore of Lake Fagnano, beyond the Garibaldi Pass.
A full day inland
About 9 km there and back through peat bogs to a glacial lagoon, in 3 to 4 hours.
Half a day; bring waterproof boots
In winter, from late June to September, the plan changes to snowshoes and the slopes of Cerro Castor, 26 km from town. The exact spot for each activity can change with the season and the weather; we confirm it with you before you travel.
The end of the world is a small town with big things around it. Everything on this page is a day trip, which is why you never change hotel.
Sea lions, cormorants and the Les Eclaireurs lighthouse, on a half day that leaves the afternoon free. The longer sailings add the penguin colony at Martillo Island.
Half a day, and the one thing nobody skips
The southernmost trails in the world, and gentler than their reputation: the coastal path is flat and runs beside the bay. The End of the World train starts here.
Easy walking, a full day
Ushuaia is the only Patagonian gateway where the sights come to you. No internal transfers, no packing between nights, and the airport is ten minutes from town.
The simplest week in Patagonia
Sailing further south? Antarctica cruises leave from this port between October and March. To pair the channel with the glaciers, see all Patagonia trips. Or tell us your dates and we will build the week around them.
Ushuaia has two seasons and one gap. The summer is about light and water; the winter is about snow. May is the month that is neither.
Days that start before 5 am and end after 10 pm in December. The Beagle Channel sails, the penguins are at the colonies, and the Antarctica season runs from this port.
The season for everything outdoors
Cerro Castor and the cross-country trails, with about seven hours of daylight. No Antarctica departures between June and August, and no penguins.
A different trip, not a worse one
Too late for the boats and the colonies, too early for reliable snow. It is the cheapest month of the year in Ushuaia and the emptiest, and that is the reason.
We will say so if you ask for May
Months in orange are the two working seasons. April and September are honest shoulders: fewer people, lower prices, and the weather can go either way.
Every quote we send lists this in writing, trip by trip. As a rule, this is how an Ushuaia package is built.
Hotels selected and checked by our team; private transfers between airports, hotels and excursions; excursions with English-speaking local guides; entrance fees to Tierra del Fuego National Park; daily breakfast and the meals marked day by day; a local WhatsApp support line for the whole trip.
International flights to and from Argentina; travel insurance; meals not marked in the itinerary; personal expenses and gratuities; optional activities, which we price in writing beforehand. The Buenos Aires to Ushuaia flight is quoted separately or included depending on the package, and your quote states which, with the amount, so the total is clear before you book.
Ushuaia weather turns quickly, and the Beagle Channel sailings depend on it. If the port holds a departure, we move the sailing to the next clear slot inside your stay and bring the Tierra del Fuego park day or the Martial Glacier walk forward instead. Wherever the schedule allows, we rebook the highlight inside your trip at no extra cost.
