Leave Ushuaia, traveling through the peat bog covered valleys of the southernmost outstretches of the Fuegian Andes. Explore the nature of the region in the Carbajal, Huskies, Tierra Mayor and Las Cotorras Valleys, popular winter month cross-country skiing destinations.
We will start by crossing the sharply rising Andes at Garibaldi Pass (1,476 feet/450 meters), host to spectacular views of the lakes Escondido and Fagnano. Then travel down the mountain to Petrel "hosteria" beside Escondido Lake for a little time to absorb the surroundings and their rustic charm.
After spending some time, we will continue with a visit to the Martinez Sawmill along Lake Fagnano. This interesting sight provides a glimpse into local history (no longer in operation).
After enjoying the scenery of the lake, our final stop is Las Cotorras Valley where we will indulge in a traditional Fueguian lamb barbecue.
