What travellers are saying
- backpacker31Boynton Beach, FL5,968 contributionsOver more than a decade I’ve explored the Beagle Channel from land and by water. For a land perspective I recommend a hike along the channel from within Parque Nacional Tierra Del Fuego. On the water, I had the opportunity to cruise from Ushuaia en route to the Drake Passage which took us through some virtually unspoiled natural landscapes dotted with uninhabited islands and remote, sparsely populated villages. There is so much incredible wildlife both in and around the Beagle Channel.Written 9 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael SMississauga, Canada63 contributionsWe went on this hike on New year's day, and the weather was spectacular for us. We arranged a cab from the taxi stand near the tourist port. Price was 30,000 pesos each way per car. The trailhead is about 15 minutes from Ushuaia centre, and we arranged our pickup time with our driver. We gave ourselves 4 hours for the return trip, and it worked out perfectly for us, we had enough time for trekking each way, plus a relaxing lunch at the laguna. There are only a few places along the trail that there is cell service, so be prepared. This is a very popular hike, so if you don't get an early start you will be hiking with a lot of people, and the laguna area will fill up by mid day. The trail is muddy in many areas, so be prepared! The hike is very manageable, there is only one relatively steep section, just after the beaver dam, but after that, the only difficulty is a rocky section along the river, closer to the end. You can also do this hike using the minibuses, but the prices are per person, and the scheduled dropoff and pickup times are limited, so we chose cabs.
I don't feel it's necessary to organise a tour to do this hike. Wear good shoes, take a lunch, and water, and you're good.Written 9 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Small hiking trail and boardwalk we walked to take in the view. There is a post office. You can glamp here too.Written 15 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michael SMississauga, Canada63 contributionsThis hike is easily accessed, a short cab ride from the centre, at the cost of about 8-10,000 pesos each way. The hike follows the mountain stream produced by the glacier. About halfway, the trail give you three choices, we chose the trail that goes directly up toward the glacier. At the halfway point, we became enveloped in clouds, quite quickly, which meant that the beautiful views overlooking Ushuaia were not available to us, but it was still a worthwhile hike. The entire hike is uphill, so be prepared. The trail itself was not overly technical, so anyone with enough energy and persistence will be capable of completing the hike. I think it took us about 2 1/2 hours round trip, and didn't have too much problem getting a return cab.Written 9 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AnaH32Monterrey, Mexico1,172 contributionsAfter leaving the cruiseline in Usuhaia, I took a tour to this tiny island on a small boat. It was such an extraordinary experience watcing hundreds of this magellanic pinguins,babies and adults....we could also had the chance to see 2 king pengins. Our excursion was only to "watch" them, the tour that lets you walk among them was already booked up!Written 3 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sharon GSioux Falls, SD1 contributionThe area is wild and unspoiled by commercial development. We saw abundant wildlife, glaciers, mountains, waterfalls. I loved the penguins. Expect lots of wind and cool weather even in the summer months. Ushuaia is worth the visit.Written 21 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
