Beagle Channel Navigation: Sea Lions

ALL YEAR ROUND

The navigation starts from the Tourist Pier of the city, heading towards the Beagle Channel, while appreciating the panoramic view of the coast of Ushuaia, sighting the most important buildings, Maritime Museum (former prison), End of the World Museum, the industrial area, and the Olivia and Cinco Hermanos mountains.

The first stop is made at Bridges Islands, and depending on the wind, a descent may be made at Karelo Island, where an easy walk is proposed.

Then we navigate southwest to the island of Los Lobos, where, from the boat, you can spot specimens of sea lions, observing their permanent habitat in a marvelous setting.

Next, we head towards the island of Los Pájaros, the habitat of Magellanic and Imperial cormorants, and a privileged area to spot specimens of marine birdlife.

We continue towards the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, in the archipelago of the same name, where the ship Monte Cervantes shipwrecked in 1930.

The return will be through the Paso Chico, with views of the Túnel and Fique Estancias, returning to Ushuaia with a view of the imposing backdrop provided by Mount Martial and the glacier of the same name.
