Experience a memorable adventure in a charming village on the breathtaking Beagle Channel.
Leaving Ushuaia and travel along National Route 3, journeying through lush native forest and scenic gravel roads. After approximately an hour, you'll arrive at Laguna Victoria, an ancient and tranquil site where you'll enjoy a light snack surrounded by breathtaking nature.
Next, continue to a panoramic viewpoint near the iconic Flag Tree for a brief photo stop — capturing sweeping vistas of this wild, remote landscape.
As the route winds further south, you'll arrive in the charming fishing village of Puerto Almanza, Argentina's southernmost fishing port, nestled along the picturesque Beagle Channel. Here, you'll explore the village's scenic waterfront and learn about local crab and shellfish harvesting traditions.
Your visit culminates with a special cooking class at a local fisherman's restaurant. Learn how to prepare centolla (spider crab) before sitting down to enjoy a freshly prepared lunch combining delicious flavors with stunning Beagle Channel vistas.

Travel time to Puerto Almanza is approximately 1¾ hours each way; more than half of this time is spent driving on gravel roads. Minimum age is 15 years.
