There are few places in the world that are as pristine, inhospitable and challenging as the Mitre Peninsula. For years, the Peninsula protected itself because of its difficult access. Today it is the lung of Tierra del Fuego and is a protected area. One can walk around it for days and not meet anyone. It is a difficult place to access, which few are lucky enough to visit. It is a land of legends, many have dared to go around it, defying its rivers, its rugged geography, the weight on the shoulders, the climate that is not always easy. There is no cell phone signal, one really disconnects, it is a place that does not have marked paths. We follow horse tracks, cow tracks, guanaco tracks. That is the greatest challenge. Also in the variety of terrain that is crossed: the pebble beaches, the wetlands, the closed forests, the irregular terrain in general. It is not a conventional trekking under any circumstances. You will be able to live a real adventure at the end of the world.

This action-packed day trip from Ushuaia gets you to several natural attractions in Tierra del Fuego. With a guide to lead the way, you’ll visit Harberton Ranch and tour the marine mammal museum. Then it’s on to the Martillo Island penguin rookery and Gable Island for a hike after lunch. A motorboat ride through the Beagle Channel is a bonus.
