The experience

The day starts at the End of the World Train Station, where you'll photograph the southernmost narrow-gauge train on the planet and learn the history of the Presidio of Ushuaia before heading into the park itself. The station's hall holds decades of detail about the region, and you can grab coffee or tea there if you arrive early. If you haven't booked a train ticket separately, this is where you can arrange one.

From there, the route moves through the park's signature stops. Acigami Lake sits beneath the Guanaco and Cóndor Hills, and you'll do a short walk to see native flora and birds found nowhere else on earth. The guide will name the tree species and explain what makes this corner of Patagonia distinct. Bahía Lapataia is the day's centerpiece: you walk its footbridges to the archaeological sites the Yagan people left behind, with panoramic views across the water and mountains. A five-minute walk at Mirador de Laguna Verde rounds out the afternoon, where the forest colors reflect in the lagoon and the light is best for photographs.

Bahía Ensenada Zaratiegui, where you can stamp your passport at the southernmost scam on the planet, runs November through April and may close for repairs or weather. The guide will confirm before the day starts. If it's closed, the time extends at other stops instead. The vehicle is air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible, and the walks are short enough for mixed fitness levels.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (2 to 11 years); Infant (under 2): free.

What's the difference between this tour and the End of the World Train ride?

The tour visits Tierra del Fuego National Park's trails, lakes and archaeological sites with a guide explaining the Yagan heritage and native species. The End of the World Train is a separate historic railway experience. This tour stops at its station but does not include a train ticket. You book that separately if you want to ride.

Do I need to buy the national park entry ticket separately?

Yes, Tierra del Fuego National Park entry is not included in the tour price. You'll arrange that before or on the day of the tour. The guide will direct you on how.

What birds and animals will I see at Acigami Lake?

Acigami Lake is home to birds you won't find elsewhere on the planet, and the guide will point out the native species as you walk. The Guanaco and Cóndor Hills frame the lake, and the short walk lets you see the flora up close without strenuous hiking.

Is the Bahía Ensenada Zaratiegui stop always open?

Bahía Ensenada Zaratiegui runs from November to April and may close for repairs or weather conditions. If it's closed on your tour date, the guide will spend the time at other stops like Bahía Lapataia instead.

How much walking is involved in this tour?

The walks are short and easily accessible: a brief stroll at Acigami Lake to see native flora, footbridges at Bahía Lapataia leading to the archaeological sites, and a five-minute walk at Mirador de Laguna Verde. The tour suits all fitness levels and is wheelchair accessible.
