Our journey begins with embarking on our Catamaran adventure from the Touristic Port of Ushuaia. Please ensure you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time.
-
We start sailing from the Tourist Dock of our city, towards the Beagle Channel, enjoying the panoramic view of the coast of Ushuaia as we sail away, seeing the most important buildings, the Museo Maritimo (old prison), the Museum of the End of the World, the industrial area, and the Olivia and Cinco Hermanos mountains.
-
Isla BridgesWe head to the Bridges Islands where we make a stop and descend. It is important to note that the hike during this visit is not difficult and is accessible to anyone. Besides having the experience of walking on a small island in the middle of the Beagle Channel we will appreciate, a few meters from the dock, deposits from the settlements of the Yámanas or Yaganes. The Conchero Yámanas: archaeological remains of the original inhabitants of the Beagle Channel. In addition, a cut in the wall of the shell deposit will allow us to better understand and observe the stratification of the discarded mussel shells. Along the interpretation circuit, we will appreciate the particular development that plants, flowers, and fruits reach in this special ecosystem.
-
We will embark again and the catamaran will navigate around the "Isla de Lobos" where we can enjoy the view of specimens of sea lions, observing their permanent habitat. Then, we will go to the "Isla de los Pajaros" and, from the boat, we will spot Cormoranes Magallánicos and Cormoranes Imperiales, specimens of marine avifauna.
-
We board again and sail southwest, approaching the Isla de Los Lobos, where, from the boat, we can enjoy the view of sea lions, observing their permanent habitat, in a wonderful scenery. Continuing the navigation, we will head towards the Isla de Los Pájaros, the habitat of Magellanic Cormorants and Imperial Cormorants and a privileged sector for spotting specimens of marine birds.
-
Next, we'll visit Les Eclaireurs lighthouse, an iconic landmark in the Beagle Channel known for its rich maritime history. It's also where the ship Monte Cervantes tragically sank in 1930. This stop offers a fascinating glimpse into the area's past while we continue our safe and enjoyable exploration of the region.
-
The return will be through Paso Chico, overlooking the Estancias Túnel and Fique, we return to Ushuaia, with a view of the stunning backdrop provided by Mount Martial and the glacier of the same name.
