Tailor-made trips to Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego
The End of the World: dramatic peaks plunging into the sea, sailing past sea lions and lonely lighthouses, and luxury retreats on the shores of the Beagle.
Argentina — Ushuaia & Tierra del Fuego
Ushuaia is the southern edge of civilization and the gateway to the myth of wild Patagonia. On this remote island, the Andes bend their course and sink into the ocean, creating a rugged landscape of Magellanic forests, ancient peat bogs and silent fjords. Here the air smells of salt, woodsmoke and fresh snow.
We design your trip to Ushuaia with private yacht expeditions on the Beagle Channel, hikes through valleys untouched by people and boutique retreats where you can watch the shifting hues of the South Atlantic by a crackling fireplace.

The Tierra del Fuego experience
The awe-inspiring calm of the Beagle and the myth of the final frontier
The Beagle Channel unfolds with an eerie serenity. Sailing its dark waters, flanked by snowy ridges, gives you the same view the explorers had two centuries ago. The difference: today you travel in the comfort of a private boat, with hot chocolate in hand and time on your side.
We coordinate every leg with flawless logistics, exclusive access and expert local guides, so you can experience the island at your own pace, with no rush and no predictable tours.
Activities and experiences
Five ways to experience the End of the World
01
Exclusive private yacht cruise on the Beagle Channel
Circle Isla de los Lobos and Isla de los Pájaros, approach the iconic Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse and land on deserted islands to walk among the remains of ancient Yámana settlements, with only the wind for company.
02
4×4 journey and country lunch at Lakes Fagnano and Escondido
An off-road route across the Andes via Paso Garibaldi to the shore of Lake Fagnano. In a wooden refuge hidden in the forest, the journey ends with a criollo asado and select wines.
03
End of the World Train and private hiking in the National Park
Relive the historic route of the End of the World Train and add an easy trek around Bahía Lapataia and Ensenada Zaratiegui, discovering beaver dams, peat bogs and the birdlife of the fjords.
04
Culinary experience: the king crab route in Puerto Almanza
Join a local fisherman on his handmade boat to haul in the traps, then enjoy a private cooking class where fresh king crab (centolla) and Patagonian toothfish go straight to the plate, facing the sea.
05
Helicopter expedition to the Darwin Range and alpine lagoons
An unmatched aerial view of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. Land on the summit of Cerro Le Cloche or beside turquoise glacial lagoons, and toast with sparkling wine above peaks of eternal ice.
When to go
A wild island in constant change
Sep — Nov · Spring
The thaw and the return of the birds
The valleys start turning green and the melting ice forms crystal-clear waterfalls. Magellanic penguins return to their colonies on Isla Martillo, offering sensational sightings.
Dec — Feb · Summer
Southern solstice and endless daylight
With nearly eighteen hours of daylight, summer invites you to stretch hikes and boat trips well into the evening. The weather is friendly for exploring trails and dense forests.
Mar — May · Autumn
A blaze of color in the canopy
The lenga and ñire forests undergo a dramatic transformation, turning deep red, orange and dazzling yellow. The wind calms and the atmosphere becomes wonderfully photogenic.

Dry snow, skiing and winter charm
Snow blankets the Las Cotorras valley and Cerro Castor. The perfect time for top-quality skiing, sled rides, snowshoe walks and a warm refuge at the lodge.
