LAKES OF ROAD USHUAIA IN 4X4
Pick up in Ushuaia - Andes Fueguinos
We will pick you up at your accommodation in Ushuaia between 8:00 and 8:30 in the morning and after a short drive we will cross an imposing glacier valley, arriving at the Garibaldi Pass, the only road that crosses the Fuegian Andes.
Escondido Lake
From the top of the Cordillera we will have spectacular views of the beautiful Lago Escondido, a small wonder that will later be traveled from south to north along route 3.
This lake of glacial origin gets its name from its location, as it is literally hidden in a deep valley in the heart of the mountains.
Lake Fagnano
We will continue by road to the northern part of Lake Escondido, where we will leave the asphalt and enter the roads that used to lead to a sawmill. These trails, which are only passable by our 4x4 vehicles, lead to Lake Fagnano.
Rest and lunch
After enjoying the forest and its landscapes we will arrive at the refuge around 13:30 where, while a tasty Creole meal is prepared for us, we will have time to walk around, rest and breathe fresh air. It will also be the perfect time to meet other travelers and enjoy their company.
Transfer back to Ushuaia
After the delicious lunch we will return to the 4x4 and head back to Ushuaia, but not before continuing to enjoy the roads and the incredible route that will offer us a landscape to which very few have access. We will also have the opportunity to see the cuts that the sharp teeth of the beavers make in the trees, to build dams and nests for their family. An adventure in the middle of nature through truly impressive landscapes.
Around 17:00 we will be back in Ushuaia where we will leave you back at your accommodation to rest after this adventure.
