It’s a lovely, easy drive up to the pass from Ushuaia. There are several place to stop and look at the snow capped mountains and glaciated valleys. We carried on further to Cabo San Pablo to see the wreck of the Desdemona - the drive is very quiet through different countryside. OK, as long as you don’t mind a slow 27 mile drive on a dirt road.

Breathtaking setting and fascinating history combine to make a visit to Ushuaia a must-do trip. Be sure to visit the museums and take the ferry trips to get perspective.

This mirador sits some 30 km from the town of Ushuaia on the road to Rio Grande del Sur. Like all of Tierra del Fuego, if the conditions permit the views are fantastic

It has a nice view of Fagnano lake and Escondido lake, but that about it. It is very windy and chilly.

A beautiful place to take pictures from Fagnano and Escondido's lakes but there is no infrasctructure on the road to do it. The cars and buses just stop along the roadside (where it is always raining and which road is very slithery because of the snow) and people go to outside to take pictures. But the view compensates the risks.

Laguna Esmeralda is far and above the coolest lake in the Ushuaia area... Don't waste your day here if you have limited time be sure to head to LAguna Esmeralda first.

With matter of fact we can say, it is great views. There are very many plastic bags and bottles that were not picked up and left to ruin the environment.

The not five stars review as we saw many people using car and giving it a cursory glance. There is beauty to be seen by walking. Only recommend not walking to those who can not.

Hola como estas? El camino era dificil para recorrer de manera particular en un auto alquilado?
Written 3 February 2023
Hola, quisiera saber opiniones sobre alquilar un auto para recorrer algunos puntos turísticos en el mes de julio. Vale la pena teniendo en cuenta el clima y las nevadas de la época? Es seguro para alguien que no acostumbra manejar en la nieve/hielo? A mí entender las excursiones tienen costos algo elevados para toda una familia, por ese motivo estoy evaluando reemplazarlas por llegar a algunos lugares en auto. Muchas gracias
Written 29 May 2022
Hola! Julio es una época en donde seguramente va haber mucha nieve y hielo. No creo que sea recomendable manejar para alguien que no esté acostumbrado. Hay lugares que no se pueden llegar dependiendo justamente de como este el camino. Las excursiones pueden ser caras pero podés disfrutar del paisaje y ellos saben por dónde pueden transitar....

Written 22 September 2019
Supongo que tu pregunta se refiere a como llegar desde Usuhaia. Si así fuera, debes tomar la ruta 3 en dirección a Tolhuin.
Ruta en excelente estado. Buen estadía uva disfrutar.

Gostaria de saber se alguém ja fez esse passeio com criancas. Vou em.julhone estarei com.2 meninas 7 e 10 anos. Alguma dica?
Obrigada
Written 13 April 2019
Eu não recomendo fazer essa visita com crianças pois o atrativo é estar no topo da serra com uma ventania tremenda para ver um dos lagos. O Fagnano não tem qualquer atrativo adicional que justifique um viagem de carro de quase hora e meia. Prepare-se pois Ushuaia é muito, muito fria no inverno. As vezes chega aos 20 graus negativos. Estive em dezembro passado, quase inicio de verão e teve dia que a temperatura chegou a um grau e no máximo 11 e com muito vento. Boa sorte !

Hi, I am planning to go to Ushuaia on 25 May 2018 morning and shall be there upto 27 evening.
Is it possible to go at this place.. Isla Martillo? Penguines? Can I do National park in one day? Whether the Park fees include Train end of the world? Are tehre many boat rides? Which is the best? What about helicopter /Aircraft ride? What is must in Ushuaia? I want to make most of the time. Please help. What is Mirador de Lagos Escondido y Fagnano?
Written 4 May 2018
Ushuaia is the gateway to Antarctica else why are you there? other than the furthest one can go on land excluding Cape Horn Anyway I highly recommend Heliushuaiar for helicopter ride .I chose Andes landing but unfortunately due to bad weather I did not land above snow line but still landed on the Andes .Check out website for other options I booked through Rumbo Sur tourist office 350 San Martin Ushuaia. They speak good English and can converse with you easily Some tourist offices in Ushuaia have no English speaking personal makes it a bit hard Try not to book through your accommodation as they will charge more but up to you.
As to End of the World Train if you are on limited time and like hiking I would do a half day hike to the glacier which is easy access from town.Else book a day hike to Emerald Lagoon or the like.
You can see part of the National Park in a day you just have to choose what part you want to see A train ride ,a hike or a tour ?
I saw Hidden Lake while on a 4 X 4 day tour which again was booked through Rumbo Star
Penguins there are tours that offer the seeing of penguins but again check the timing and length of tours and always remember penguins are animals and no one can predict what you will see when animals are involved
I saw penguins in Antarctica so did not feel a need to pay to see more penguins
Also if you take your passport to the tourist office down by the harbor they will stamp for you
Not much in Ushuaia itself unless you like tourist shops But they all close noon - 3pm and then reopen 4 - 9/10 pm (dont ask about the hour in between I asked and was never told I think the shopkeepers are getting ready to reopen) for siesta even the tourist office and some do not open on weekends so best check beforehand
Not sure where you are from or how much of the world you have seen but I will warn you of the street dogs they are friendly but as I am a dog lover it did break my heart to see some of the condition of the dogs Most are owned by the shopkeepers and when they come to work the dogs just roam and go home with them of a night There is also a strong police presence in the streets.
All above is based on my experience when I was there for 4 days in March 2018 but hope that this helps with your enquiry
Happy and safe trails

hola, me podrian recomendar un recorrido para hacer con auto , que lugares no perder de conocer, muchas gracias
Written 15 April 2018
Hola Daniel, es como te contestó Joioca, en auto hasta final de Ruta 3, también podés ir a Lago Fagnano o Escondido, el tema es que yo estaba en auto, pero preferí hacerlo con una excursión 4x4, porque hay lugares que son complicado pasar si no conoces, aunque llegar, llegás bien igual...(no se si a todos lados, pero para ver lo más importante)...yo fui en octubre del año pasado y nevó justo cuando estabamos y a la tarde ya estaba otra vez todo como si nada...también hay para hacer una ruta paralela al canal para el este, que llega hasta cerca o a Puerto Almanza...pero no te se decir, porque no fui....bueno...buen viaje!!! y que disfrutes el paisaje....todo es muy bello...!!

Hola! Vamos en noviembre. los caminos sin fáciles de conducir en auto? O todavía hay nieve? mi idea es recorrer todo e ir a las cotorras a comer.
Written 29 August 2017
Hola! Los caminos son fáciles para hacer con el auto y muy bien señalizados. Nosotros hicimos lo mismo, alquilamos auto y recorrimos todo Usuhaia así. Sin embargo para saber cómo estarán los caminos consultá alguna pagina del clima o mismo a gendarmería. En rutas y calles es mas peligroso el hielo en asfalto que la nieve, y para ello tendrás que consultarlo allá pues yo fui en abril, ni idea de cómo será en noviembre. Por otro lado, cuando recorras el paruqe nacional, conviene en algunos tramos dejar el auto estacionado y disfrutar de excelentes caminatas e imperdibles paisajes, en los que el auto no llega. hay varios senderos perfectamente marcados y clasificados en dificultad baja, media o alta. pero realmente son todos muy accesibles!! Que la pases hermoso!

Esta lugar es hermoso, la realice con una de las combi que salen del puerto y te cobran mucho más barato y es super completa.
Llegan a Tolhium, Paso Garibaldi y Mirador haciendo paradas en los principales puntos.
La super recomiendo!!
