Argentina. Ushuaia

BETWEEN SEA AND MOUNTAINS (WITH SNOW SHOES)

 
 

Conquering the southernmost city of the world, right next to the Beagle Chanel its Martial Glacier. From the top, breathtaking panoramic views of Ushuaia Bay are a must for those who visit the city during winter. This half day tour allow us to get to know one of the most magical and symbolic spots of Ushuaia. During the climb with snowshoes the path takes the visitor to landscapes of sea and snow even more and more amazing at every step. At the glacial valley you'll enjoy a hot drink while the guide explains how the surrounding areas were eroded by the glaciers that covered this area. Descending down the ski run we’ll enter the woods where we’ll ride the zip line, a completely different way to enjoy the nature in this latitude: sledding downhill and overflying the stream with all the security measures required. On the other side of the stream lunch will be waiting for us inside our dome in the middle of the woods. The tour ends with a hike to the foothills of Martial Glacier.
