Included in the TourAscent through native forest with the afternoon in the background
The trail climbs through lenga trees and Fuegian vegetation, the light changing as the sun sets. The sunset trek offers a palette of colors that the same trail in the morning simply doesn't have.
The Beagle Channel lit up in orange from the top
The base of Martial Glacier, viewed from a vantage point at sunset, is an experience few tourists get to enjoy. The Beagle Channel, Ushuaia, and the snow-capped peaks are bathed in orange and red light in minutes.
Craft beer and canyoning with flashlights in the forest
The snack of Fuegian craft beer and chocolate is enjoyed in the growing darkness. The nighttime descent through lenga trees illuminated by lanterns has a magical quality that completes the experience.
