An ideal circuit for lovers of adventure, history, and nature. We will live a mixed experience of good times, adventure and emotion, where you will also learn the history of one of the local native peoples, such as the Selk'nam of Lake Yehuín, among whom the famous "Shamans" stood out. We will visit Lake Yehuin, of glacial origin. We will travel through the typical Patagonian steppe. Along Provincial Route 18 we will contemplate low forests typical of the area called Ecotone, as well as the incredible beauty of the Fuegian ranches that appear on both sides. You will also be surprised with our complete country snack cooked over lenga embers, an exciting walk to the Sendero de la Ruca, a hut belonging to the ancestors as well as to the woodcutters, ancient Fuegian settlers, and a delicious 3-step recipe in a classic restaurant. Tolhuin location.

Picked up at hotel, with an English speaking guide and driven through the Andean foothills to Garibaldi pass for a scenic view of lake faragano, then down a bush track straight off the escarpment, which offered views of small creeks, waterfalls, beaver ponds/earthworks and the occasional glimpse of the lake. The guide, Anna, providing commentary as we go. Finally arrive at our private cabin on the lake, situated on a rambling estancia (ranch/farm/cattle station). Anna and our driver whip up a salad, bread, wine and asada feast, with crème caramel for sweets!!
After lunch we look at the estancia museum which provides an overview of its history and characters, which they still revere today! Then its back to Ushaia. Somehow the change in light makes the mountains look different this time.

My wife & I travel extensively and thoroughly research our local trips in advance. For our trip to Tierra del Fuego, Kaitek Viajes stood out for the variety of choices and recommendations. It was a very good decision to use them. The trip was top class and is to be highly recommended for the scenery of T del F and ADVENTURE. However, our choice was not without some drama and was entirely my fault. I booked what I thought was a private tour and when the 4x4 came to pick us up at our hotel there were others on board. Being of a stubborn nature, I refused to get on and they had no choice but to continue without us. Only then did I discover that I had in fact booked a shared tour and not a private one. I proceeded to the offices and embarrassingly explained my misunderstanding. Despite having forfeited the tour, the office manager Maria did everything to find us an alternative but all tours were booked. Much to our delight Garman, the owner, contacted me and said he did not want us to be disappointed in leaving Ushuaia and arranged a private tour in the afternoon without additional cost. To our delight, Garman and Maria turned up to take us on our much-anticipated tour, in their free time. In addition to the normal route, they ventured to other areas not scheduled to ensure we got the most out of our visit. I was very fortunate I made this mistake. They were both delightful company and gave a tremendous end to a two-week stay in Argentina. This review may sound long-winded but I want travellers to know the quality and excellence of the people who run this company. Such people deserve to be supported in order to maintain the highest of standards, especially also as what they offer by way of tours is 5* plus. Thank you guys for a memorable visit to Ushuaia.
