The Experience

The tour starts when your ship arrives in Ushuaia, with pickup from inside the harbour. You travel by air-conditioned vehicle along Route N°3 toward the park's interior, passing through lenga and guindo forests that frame the landscape. The guide explains the ecology and human history as you go—the Yámanas who lived here for centuries, the first European settlers, and the trees themselves, some over 300 years old.

At Lake Roca–Errazuriz, you walk a small trail where the water reflects the surrounding forest and the view stretches toward the Chilean border. The Alakush Visitor Center comes next, where the guide unpacks the park's fauna, flora, and the layers of settlement that shaped this corner of Patagonia. Then you continue to Bahía Lapataia, where the forest meets rocky formations and the sea—this is the official end of Route N°3, the Pan-American Highway. A stop at Ensenada Zaratiegui lets you visit the southernmost post office in Argentina and take the photograph that marks the endpoint.

The whole day is timed so you're back at the harbour before your ship departs. You can upgrade to include a ride on the End of the World Steam Train if you want to add that to the route. Infants and small children can come along; specialized infant seats are available.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if your ship is in port for five to seven hours and you want to see the park's core without building the day yourself—the guide is local, the timing syncs with your ship, and you walk the forests and reach the end of the Pan-American Highway instead of staying in town. Add the steam train option if you want a second route through the park's southern section.
