The journey begins by leaving the city of Ushuaia, on a route of approximately 75 km towards Puerto Almanza. We traverse glacial valleys adorned with towering snow‑capped peaks, winding rivers, lagoons and peat bogs: a unique visual spectacle. We arrive at the home of local fishermen who will be our hosts for this authentic experience: they will guide us through the entire process, from preparation to the culmination of the king crab harvest. With the assistance of the experienced guides, we ready ourselves to embark in the boat and explore the local fish farms. During the roughly 15‑minute navigation, we will have the thrilling opportunity to haul the nets and collect our own king crabs, which will then be our lunch. Back at the cozy restaurant of our fisherman‑hosts, we will enjoy a delicious three‑course lunch: it begins with the “Beagle Dip”, followed by the exquisite king crab, and concluding with dessert. After this day at the “end of the world”, we begin our return to Ushuaia.
Characterized by a nostalgic, old-world beauty, the city that is referred to as the “Paris of the South” boasts marvelous architectural jewels. We shall explore the elegant Recoleta and Retiro quarters with treed sidewalks, turn-of-the-century palaces and handsome apartment buildings. We shall visit the masterpieces that surround the sprawling Plaza San Martín, a Beaux Arts Palace built as residence for the Anchorena family; an imposing mansion inspired by the Louvre Palace, and a ground-breaking Art Deco skyscraper, a landmark that was at the time of construction, 1936, the highest concrete building in the world. The Museum of Decorative Arts decorated in eclectic style including neo-Classical; Circulo Militar, designed in Paris and built in Buenos Aires for the Paz family; the French Embassy and the Brazilian Embassy; San Martin palace —today the Foreign Affairs Ministry— among other beautiful buildings.
