Description:

Venture into the Fuegian Andes to admire the serene and awe-inspiring mountainous beauty of Lake Escondido and Lake Fagnano, and then refuel with a traditional lamb barbecue at Villa Las Cotorras.

After being picked up at your hotel in Ushuaia, climb from sea level up toward the snowcapped peaks of the Andes to cross over Garibaldi Pass. Here, you can take in sweeping views of Lake Escondido and Lake Fagnano. Traverse the peat bog-covered Valle Carbajal as you wind your way down to Hosteria Petrel, a rustic lodge where you can stroll along the lakefront and absorb the majestic charm of Tierra del Fuego.

Visit the out-of-commission Martinez Sawmill at Lake Fagnano—this massive body of water is one of the largest in the world and fills an active tectonic depression over the Magellan Fault. Finally, make your way down to Villa Las Cotorras, a popular cross-country skiing destination with a traditional Argentine restaurant. Enjoy a delicious asada lunch of grilled lamb before your return trip to Ushuaia.
