An incredible tour to prepare you to cross the mountain range with a variety of landscapes such as the imposing Sierra Alvear, at whose feet lies a gigantic peat valley; this is the Carbajal Valley, which later changes its name to Tierra Mayor and Las Cotorras.
When the route passes through the Rancho Hambre area, the ascent itself begins. At 430 m above sea level, at Paso Garibaldi, we will enjoy an unrivalled view of the Escondido and Fagnano Lakes. One of our stops will be at the imposing Mirador from where we can appreciate the Escondido Lake. We will continue to Lake Fagnano, where we will have the next technical stop.
Leaving here, the Route joins up again to begin the tour through the sawmill area, where the lengas form a dense and even forest. On the way back to the city, we will make a stop at a restaurant on the route to enjoy traditional Fuegian lamb for lunch (optional).
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Passengers will be picked up at the dock of the tourist port next to the cruise ship or in the lobby of the hotel where they are staying if they so wish. They will be greeted by a guide identified with the name of the company.
