Navigation in the Beagle Channel with minitrekking USHUAIA

We begin sailing from the Tourist Pier of our city, towards the Beagle Canal, enjoying as we move away, the panoramic view of the coast of Ushuaia, seeing the most important buildings, Maritime Museum (old prison), Museum of the End of the World, the industrial area, and the mountains Olivia and Cinco Hermanos.

We head to the Bridges Islands where we stop and descend. It is important to note that the walk that is made during this visit is not difficult and is available to anyone. In addition to having the experience of walking on a small island in the middle of the Beagle Channel, the goal is to appreciate the following three fundamental attractions: Conchero Yámanas: archaeological remains of the inhabitants of the Beagle Canal. A few meters from the pier are deposits of the settlements of the Yamanas or Yaganes, we will enter one of them and, from the explanations of the guide, we will imagine how they lived. In addition, a cut in the shell wall will allow us to better understand and observe the stratification of the discarded mussel leaflets. Touring the interpretation circuit, we appreciate the particular development that plants, flowers and fruits reach in this special ecosystem.

We board again and sail to the southwest, approaching the Isle of Los Lobos, where, from the boat, we can enjoy the view of sea lions, observing their permanent habitat, in a wonderful setting. Continuing the navigation, we will head towards the Island of Los Pájaros, habitat of Magellanic Cormorants and Imperial Cormorants and privileged sector to see specimens of marine birdlife. We continue to Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, in the archipelago of the same name, where the ship Monte Cervantes was wrecked in 1930.

Return will be through the Chico Pass, seeing the Tunnel and Fique Estancias, return to Ushuaia, with a view of the imposing frame that gives the city Mount Martial and the glacier of the same name.
