Activity description
We invite you to enjoy this experience from the moment we board one of our aircraft to appreciate the dimensions of the southernmost city from an incomparable perspective.
Discovery Flight C1 (30 minutes): We will take off heading towards Mount Susana and fly over the southern coast of Tierra del Fuego National Park, covering its most important points. From the border with Chile (to the west), it is possible to photograph the glacier overlooking Yendegaia Bay in that country. Then, flying east, we will see Chilean Hoste Island, Murray Channel oriented 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 the best aerial photographs can be taken. Finally, we return to the starting point flying over the city.
Discovery Flight C2 (1 hour): After takeoff and flying close to Mount Olivia, we enter the Tierra Mayor Valley, a unique opportunity to photograph Esmeralda Lagoon and Cerro Castor from an incredible perspective. We follow National Route No. 3 up to its highest point, Garibaldi Pass, and then enjoy the most impressive view: Hidden Lake. After admiring the vastness of Lake Fagnano (Kami) and the town of Tolhuin, we cross the mountain range again to the south until reaching Harberton Ranch to appreciate its full scale. From the area of Martillo Island, home to penguins, and Gable Island, we return over the Beagle Channel, flying very close to Puerto Williams (Chile), where the mountain range known as the “Dientes de Navarino” is located, facing the fishing settlements of Puerto Almanza on the Argentine coast. We also pass the wreck of the Monte Sarmiento, built in 1901 and grounded in 1912 near the coast of Remolino Ranch. Finally, we view Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse and return to the city while descending for landing.
