OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE TO LAKES ESCONDIDO & FAGNANO

OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE TO LAKES ESCONDIDO and FAGNANO

Dedicate a day to exploring the natural beauty of Tierra del Fuego by 4×4 vehicle, starting with a transfer to the centre of the island. While you travel, you’ll catch drive-by views of Tierra del Fuego’s peat bogs and the southernmost reaches of the Andes.

Enjoy superb views of Lakes Escondido and Fagnano when you cross the Andes at the Garibaldi Pass, after which you’ll continue on ancient roads once used to transport timber. Now no longer in general use, these trails are accessible only by 4×4, take you through the sub-Antarctic Forest and lead to Lake Fagnano, where lunch awaits you. Next up, you’ll move on to the smaller but equally scenic Lake Escondido, where you’ll have a moment to savour an amazing panorama. Lastly, you’ll get to stretch your legs at a spot close to the historical Hostería Petrel before you return to your ship via the old Garibaldi Pass.
