Description

Added by Cara Holmes

This is an easy-moderate hike that takes you to Estancia Túnel, an old barrel factory. The elevation gain is minimal though the path is uneven with rocks and tree roots. You start in the forest which opens up into a field overlooking the ocean. Here you can continue straight and hike along the ocean with stunning views of the Beagle Channel, or you can take a left and re-enter the woods. Thus this hike can be done as a semi loop, or an out-and-back.

Estancia Túnel

01/04/25

Estancia Túnel is such a hidden gem that is visited by locals more than tourists. It's an old barrel factory on the shores of the Beagle Channel, and the hike is rather easy- just some light rolling hills, rocks, and tree roots. You start the hike in a forest and it'll open up to a big field. Take a right to go down to the ocean and there are two small coves. On a sunny day, this is a great spot to picnic in the grass and take a dip in the ocean. We rented bicycles and biked here. We only had 4 hours of the bicycle rental but I wish we had more because I could have stayed here all day, it was so beautiful. It is a must-do on a sunny day in Ushuaia.

Explore Hache Island

Hache Island, commonly known as “H” Island because of it’s shape, is only accessible through a tour with Tres Marias based in Ushuaia. You should arrange your tour the day before you want to go although they do take last minute bookings if space is available. They offer two option to the island, motorboat or sailboat. Each time I’ve done this trip with them (2012 and 2018) I have gone on the...

Hike to Laguna Esmeralda

Laguna Esmeralda is one of the easier lagunas to hike to if you have a car because the trail head and parking are right on Route 3 just outside Ushuaia. Fortunately we had a car. Without the car you have to rely on hitchhiking or taxi. From the trail head, you descend into a Lenga Forest. The trail is narrow and a bit creepy and eerie. The trail meanders through the forest until it exits i...

Hike to Laguna del Caminante via the Andorra Valley

From the parking area, pass through a gate and hike up the trail which is lined with fields of Buttercup flowers. This lasts for about 0.5 miles when you gradually enter the forest. At this point, the trail gets incredibly muddy. Some attempts at trail maintenance are apparent with logs placed across the trail, but many have sunk into the mud. There is really no way around the mud, and it lasts...

Martial Glacier

The Martial Glacier is located just outside of town in Ushuaia and provides views of the Beagle Channel, where you can see across to Chile. There are multiple hiking routes of varying difficulty and length, but all of them do involve a moderate-steep incline. At the bottom of the Glacier is the Ushuaia Ski School, where beginners can learn to ski in the winter. You can also ski tour the glacier...

Hike the Cascada Rio Pipo Trail

From the parking area, walk through a make-shift barrier with the river on your right hand side. The start of the trail looks as part of a dirt road, this is the correct way. There are some great photo opportunities with the mountains towering over the river in the background. Near the end, the trail enters a forest and soon there is a viewing deck for the cascade. Not that impressive but a...

Backpack Dientes de Navarino Classic Route

The trailhead is in the forest. There should be a path that is accessible by car until a certain point, next to a reservoir. That’s where the first signpost should be. The coordinates are 54°56'55.1S, 67°38’24.3W. The first part of the hike will take us up Bandera Hill, crossing an old forest and above the tree line before reaching the summit where hikers will have the best views of Tierra del ...
