Aboard our comfortable buses, we’ll head north along the iconic National Route N°3. Along the way, we’ll take a short break to delve into the rich history of the region before continuing on the picturesque Provincial Route "J." Our destination: Puerto Almanza, a charming fishing village located 70 km from Ushuaia.
From this delightful port, we’ll board a custom semi-rigid boat with a capacity for 22 passengers. We’ll sail for 30 minutes through the serene waters of the Beagle Channel, heading toward the famous Martillo Island.
