The experience

Tierra del Fuego National Park sits at the southern edge of the world, and this tour moves through it by van instead of a large bus, which means the group stays small and you have time to walk, photograph and linger at each stop. The guide speaks English or Spanish and leads you along the shores of Lago Roca, where the walk is peaceful and the views of the mountains and forests frame every direction. You'll also visit Bahía Ensenada, drive across the Río Lapataia and the Laguna Verde, and stop at scenic overlooks of Ushuaia itself from the mountains and the waterfront.

The End of the Panamerican Highway (the famous sign marking the distance from Alaska) is a stop on its own, and the Centro de Visitantes gives you a chance to buy souvenirs while looking out at the park's panoramic landscape. A snack break happens in a peaceful forest setting, and the air-conditioned van means the five-hour day is comfortable even when the weather shifts. The guide shares the park's history and culture as you move through it, and the timing is built to get you back to the port without rushing.

What’s included

• Professional tour guide in your choice of English, Spanish or Portuguese.
