Descripción

Get ready to cross the Andes Range. Yes! This excursion takes us to travel around a wide variety of landscapes. In all cases the forest accompanies us. When we leave Ushuaia eastwards, we stop to watch the whole Old Prison; we go past the industrial area and once we go deep into the forest, Velo de la Novia Waterfall surprises us. On bordering Olivia Mount base, the imposing Alvear Hill can be seen at the front with its eternal snow and a huge peat bog valley at its base. This valley is called Carbajal Valley that later changes its name into Tierra Mayor and Las Cotorras. When the road goes past Rancho Hambre, the ascent starts. At 430 masl, in Garibaldi Pass, we can enjoy an unforgettable view of Escondido and Fagnano Lakes. We descend towards Escondido Lake shore where Petrel Inn is located.
When we leave the inn, we take national route 3 again to start our travel by the sawmill area where lengas (Nothofagus pumilio) make a dense even forest. A few kilometers ahead a detour leads us to the biggest lake in Tierra del Fuego.
Fagnano Lake is so big that some birds lose their way and wind makes them fly over it. That is why we can see some albatrosses and petrels. On approaching the shore, water transparency invites us to meditate. Our return is by the same national route 3 straight ahead to Ushuaia.
