Patagonia Honeymoon

In the morning, half-day shared excursion to the Tierra del Fuego National Park, in a 4×4 land rover, within a small group up to 8 people. We will visit one of Ushuaia’s classics in the best possible way: in a small group and against the crowds. Throughout the excursion, we are closely in touch with nature and the tranquility that it conveys. We stroll along with the principal and most important trails in the National Park, which are of low difficulty. In half a day we would´ve walked enough to have a special and unique impression of the Fuegian ecosystem. Our well-trained guides will pass on to you all of their experience and passion for these surroundings giving away a once in a lifetime experience. Lapataia Bay, Roca Lake and Ensenada Bay will be the southern spots we will introduce you to during this unforgettable excursion.    Pick up and drop off from the hotel are included.
