Helicopter

We invite you to contemplate the city from a different perspective, flying above it to observe the most remarkable places and surroundings. Below are the available options:

7-minute flight: We will admire the Beagle Channel, the Andes mountain range, Martial Glacier, Cinco Hermanos Mountain, the western face of the iconic Mount Olivia, and Playa Larga. We will also see how the city stands out in this unique landscape, including the downtown area with its characteristic buildings such as the Presidio, the local port, and the Government House.

15-minute flight: To begin this adventure, we will pick you up from your accommodation and head to the aeroclub, where our helicopter will take off. We will fly northeast over iconic sites such as Ushuaia Bay and the port, the former prison (now the Maritime and Presidio Museum of Ushuaia), and the Government House. We will observe the western face of Mount Olivia, the summit of Cinco Hermanos, and Playa Larga. We will then enter the Olivia River Valley, flying over the ancient Tierra Mayor Valley and its peat bogs. Along the route, we will see the incredible Esmeralda Lagoon, known for its striking color, located beneath Ojo del Albino Glacier and Paso Beban Glacier. On the opposite side, we will also see Turquesa Lagoon, named after its mineral-rich glacial meltwater color.

30-minute flight: We will begin by picking you up from your accommodation and heading to the aeroclub, where we will take off toward Mount Susana and fly over the southern coast of Tierra del Fuego National Park and its main landmarks. From the Chilean border (to the west), it is possible to photograph the glacier visible in Yendegaia Bay. Then, flying east, we will see Hoste Island (Chile), Murray Channel toward Cape Horn, Puerto Navarino, Ushuaia International Airport, the Bridges Islands, and along the Beagle Channel the various developments on both coasts until reaching Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse, where some of the best aerial photographs can be taken. Finally, we return to the city, flying over Ushuaia before landing.
