ushuaia on our own - We went in December for a week, we rented a discount in front of the Ushuaia sign, an excellent location, I recommend it, it's called Polo Sur Apartments, close to everything and with a balcony with an unbeatable view of the bay and the hills. We rented a car at the airport to get around on our own to do the excursions, I recommend it, we spent much less and we did things at our own pace, the distances are very short so we spent very little on fuel. I recommend hiring the navigation once in Ushuaia and on the same day since depending on the weather it leaves or not, they have two schedules at 9:30 a.m. and at 3 p.m. go half an hour earlier, there are many companies that provide the service, the ride It is approximately 4 hours. We went to the Tierra del Fuego National Park two days in a row, since on the first we took the ride on the End of the World train and that took us half a day and in the afternoon we traveled the paths of Lapataia. On the second day we went to Lake Acigami, from there we started the Hito XXIV Trail and Cerro Guanaco, beautiful trekking. This is very important, you should wear warm clothing and trekking shoes, and always go out with water because all the walks you take are long walks in which your body will ask for hydration, and I assure you that it is very cold despite Being summer, it snowed one day for almost 5 hours and the wind is very strong and constant, the good thing about this time of year is that it dawns at 430 am and it is daylight until 11 pm. We climbed Martial Hill, 2 hours of walking, when we got to the top we had some sandwiches for lunch and regained our strength appreciating the view from above, when we went down we passed by the tea house, very charming and with delicious things to snack on. Laguna Esmeralda, another goyita from Ushuaia, took us half a day, then we continued along national route 3 towards Tolhuin, along the way we stopped at the Garibaldi pass to take some beautiful photos from that panoramic viewpoint. Upon returning we visited El Presidio, we took a guided tour where they explained the history from its foundation to its final closure. A trip that is not very widespread is to visit Laguna Bombilla, to do this we take route 3 towards Lago Escondido and once there a gravel road that goes along the coast, halfway there we pass by an active beaver farm where in addition to being able To appreciate the beavers doing their work, we stopped to have some mates in a beautiful place prepared with tables and chairs and grills to spend the day. Upon arriving at the Bombilla lagoon there is a camping space with grills and a very long walkway that literally gives you the feeling of being in the center of the lake, the very beautiful coastline with beaches accessible by car or on foot. Upon returning we headed to Playa Larga, then we continued to the Escarpados Beacon. Well, I'm probably forgetting many more places that we visited because we didn't stop for 7 days. Write me anything and I'll give you more information. I hope it's useful to you.

Quite a ride! - Thrilling off road experience by the Fagnano Lake, very well organized. Good cars, skilled drivers, they know the way by heart. Also interesting explanations along the way. And some of the most beautiful landscapes on Tierra del Fuego. Worth every cent!
