    The final leg of the excursion takes us to Lapataia Bay, after crossing the cormorant archipelago and peat bogs. At Lapataia Bay, in addition to the coastline rich in mollusks and mussels, we will find vestiges of the ancient aboriginal people who inhabited the region. There, we'll have time to walk along the footbridge, from which we can take photographs and enjoy the sensation of being at the end of the world. From this point, the end of National Route 3, we'll begin our return to the city of Ushuaia.
