OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE TO LAKES ESCONDIDO and FAGNANO
From Paso Garibaldi to silent canoeing on Escondido Lake — a 4×4 journey along the lake route that combines epic landscapes, off-road adventure, and glacial echoes.
Excursion Details
Departing from the ship towards the lakes via Route 3, which crosses part of the Fuegian Cordillera, we access Paso Garibaldi, a panoramic point where we can see our objectives, Escondido and Fagnano lakes. We begin the descent and divert from the route onto old lumberjack trails. 4×4 trucks allow us to reach places otherwise inaccessible: forests, mud, stones, etc. Lake Fagnano surprises us with its size and incredible landscape. The adventure continues with the lively crossing of Lake Fagnano to reach an internal route leading us to Lake Escondido, smaller in size but surrounded by an incomparable natural setting.
After a brief introductory talk by our boat guides, we prepare the canoes and begin paddling. The water view surprises us. After 45 minutes of canoeing, we return to the point where the trucks were left to start the return to Refugio Nunatak in the Tierra Mayor valley, where, while they prepare lunch, we have time to take a walk around. After lunch, we return to Ushuaia.
