Tierra del Fuego National Park Trekking & Canoeing

About This Experience

Pickup is from your hotel in Ushuaia, and a 30-minute drive takes the group, capped at 10 people, into Tierra del Fuego National Park.

About three hours go to hiking on trails of medium difficulty through the southern forest, where the mountains come down close to the sea and rivers and lakes sit beside the coast.

Lunch with drinks is served in a dining dome near the Lapataia River, out of the wind and rain. Afterwards you put on the rubber boots, overtrousers and life jacket provided and paddle inflatable canoes for about an hour down the Lapataia and Ovando rivers to Lapataia Bay, where the fresh water meets the sea.

The End of the World Train is not included and is not on the itinerary. The national park entry fee (ARS 40,000 for foreign visitors since 1 June 2026) is paid on site.
