THE FAMOUS
DEEP INTO TIERRA DEL FUEGO
Deep into Tierra del Fuego is an unmatched trek through the Fuegian Range, a journey through the most spectacular and scenic places in Tierra del Fuego. This trail stands out for its pristine beauty and for being very little traveled. We will cross valleys, very well-known and little-known lagoons, iconic glaciers, mountain passes, large lakes, peat bogs and high-altitude rivers.
The special seasoning will be the ruggedness of the place and the energy of the group, which will do its part to finish one of the most interesting Loops on the Island.
