Sailing in Tierra del Fuego
At the southern end of Argentine Patagonia, cross the waters of the Beagle Channel and get close to the lighthouse at the end of the world.
There, where the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans merge, you can start an adventure on the southernmost waters in the continent. Next to the city of Ushuaia, a ship is waiting for you at the harbor. Hop on board, and sail the Beagle Channel. Let yourself be amazed at the immensity of the sea landscapes, and watch the birds flying across the skies. Learn about history and follow the tracks of the early expeditioners that landed on this region.
Make a stop along the way and explore Isla de Pájaros, where seagulls and cormorants, terns and snowy sheathbills await you. On another island, find a colony of sea lions living in these southern waters. And next to the mythical Les Éclaireurs lighthouse, known as the Lighthouse at the End of the World, discover the story of a ship sunk in 1930. Live this experience in Tierra del Fuego.
