4x4 experience - A must in the ushuaia visit package. Wonderful scenery of both lakes (Lago Escondido and Lago Fagnano). Knowledgeable and experienced Driver-Guide.

Too crowded an experience near Ushuaia - I did not know we would be in a convoy with a lot of other people. However our guide was not very helpful so I could at least ask the other guides questions and they were more responsive. The explanation on the vehicle was inaudible and it was very hot inside with no air circulation. The scenery was beautiful and the paddle on the lake was very nice.
