Beagle Channel Navigation On Yacht – Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

EXPERIENCE

We depart from the local port towards Alicia Island, where we will observe a colony of South American sea lions. Then we head towards Birds Island, home to colonies of imperial and royal cormorants alongside their nests, where we can see their chicks from spring to autumn.

Next, we set course eastward to another small island where, depending on the season, there are South American fur seals. Nearby lies the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, an authentic symbol of Ushuaia, built in 1919. From there, we can view Cormorant Island.

On our way back, we disembark at Bridges Island to explore a trail interpreting the flora and birdlife, while learning about the history of the Yámana indigenous people. This island hosts the largest Yámana anthropogenic shell middens in the region.

As it is the largest island, we reach the highest panoramic point from where we observe the magnificence of the Beagle Channel with the city of Ushuaia in the distance.
During the journey, we share coffee with liquor, different varieties of tea, a rich hot chocolate with sweet cookies, and of course, the typical Argentine mate.
