The Beagle Channel beach ecosystem is home to seabirds, upland geese, and native flora not found on any other trail in the area. The environment changes noticeably as you approach the coast.

The ruins of a 20th-century barrel factory and the archaeological shell middens of the Yaghan people—the oldest in the region—coexist in the same space. Few tours in Ushuaia offer this level of historical depth.
