Included in the TourSnowmobiles across the frozen plain (7 km)
Seven kilometers across virgin snow, with no marked trails or defined horizon. The sensation of moving through a seemingly endless white expanse is the closest you can get to Antarctic territory without boarding a ship.
Tracked vehicle: the mechanics of exploration (3 km)
Three kilometers aboard the same type of vehicle used by scientific expeditions on the white continent. The slow pace, the sound of the tracks on the snow, and the view from the cabin set the stage for a real polar journey.
Antarctic Module and Immersive VR Experiences
The module recreates the living and working conditions at a scientific base on the seventh continent. Virtual reality headsets transport you to expeditions, landscapes, and key moments in the history of Antarctic exploration. The synthesis of the physical and the digital completes a unique experience in Ushuaia.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does the Antarctic Experience include?
Round-trip transfers from the hotel, entrance to Husky Park, guided tour of the Antarctic Explorers exhibit, 7 km snowmobile ride, 3 km tracked vehicle ride, visit to the Antarctic Module, immersive virtual reality experiences, Antarctic snack (cookie and hot chocolate) and bilingual guide.
-
What are immersive VR experiences?
Virtual reality headsets with content specifically designed about Antarctica: journeys of historical explorers, life at scientific bases, the fauna of the white continent, and landscapes that very few people ever see in person. A way to "travel" to the 7th continent without leaving Tierra del Fuego.
-
What is the difference between Aventura Blanca and Full Day Nieve?
The Antarctic Experience has a strong cultural and educational component about the white continent: a visit to the Antarctic Explorers exhibit, the Antarctic Module, VR experiences, and a tracked vehicle (which recreates polar expedition vehicles). The White Adventure and Full Day Snow tours are recreational snow tours without this Antarctic component.
-
Is prior experience necessary to drive a snowmobile?
No. Before getting on the tracked vehicle, you'll receive a short training session and be accompanied by guides. The tour is easy and suitable for beginners. The tracked vehicle is driven by the guide—you ride as a passenger.
-
What clothing is recommended?
Layered thermal clothing, waterproof pants, waterproof jacket, waterproof boots, waterproof gloves, hat, and scarf. Temperatures in the Tierra Mayor Valley during this season range from -5°C to 5°C.
-
In which months does the tour operate?
Winter season only: July 1st to September 30th. Outside of those months there is not enough snow in the Tierra Mayor Valley to operate snowmobile and tracked vehicle activities.
