This excursion is ideal for those who want to explore the Tierra del Fuego routes, travelling through glacial valleys and native forests until they discover a small fishing village on the edge of the continent. Beyond Puerto Almanza, human intervention almost disappears and the coastal route winds along the pristine shores of the Beagle Channel until reaching Punta Paraná. There, a cozy cabin hidden in the forest will be the chosen place to enjoy a menu designed with local products.

Route K takes us to Puerto Almanza, where a few families of artisanal fishermen catch crabs, salmon and other products from the Canal to offer in their small restaurants. Their light boats rest peacefully or shake violently depending on the intensity of the wind: here everything happens at the mercy of the whims of nature in its wildest state.

A short distance from the farm is Punta Paraná, a subtle geographical feature that gives its name to an area that has no precise boundaries nor traces of civilization other than a few settlers. This landscape, reserved only for the most intrepid travelers, reveals the natural wealth of Tierra del Fuego in its purest expression. When the southwest wind blows strongly, the purest air in the world makes us dizzy, experiencing the sensation of being completely exposed to nature and uniquely connected to the environment. Where there seems to be no possible refuge, we will find a small hidden path that takes us to a cozy cabin immersed in an old Coihue forest. After lighting the fireplace with firewood from the surroundings, we will delight in a dinner with local products, surrounded by an overwhelming serenity only interrupted by the crackling of the fire.
