National Park at Sunset: The Yámana legacy, pristine trails, and an exclusive dinner in a dome facing Mount Cóndor.

”

Summer : October to March

· · · ·

We will explore Tierra del Fuego National Park in the quiet of the afternoon, avoiding the crowds to connect with the history of the Yámana people. We will walk along ancient archaeological sites and coastal trails facing the Beagle Channel, concluding the day with a gourmet dinner in a cozy structural dome, surrounded by the peace of the forest and the mountains.

Just 10 kilometers from Ushuaia, we find a natural treasure of incalculable value. The snowy peaks of the final stretch of the Andes Mountains rise above forested valleys, revealing summits carved by the last glaciations. On this excursion, we delve into the thick vegetation to reach the shores of the Beagle Channel and breathtaking freshwater lakes.

The Yámana, the region's original inhabitants, lived on these coasts for millennia in perfect balance with their surroundings. Only 150 years ago, they were the sole inhabitants of these lands. Exploring the Park in the afternoon offers us the unique opportunity to make the most of the daylight—which in summer lasts until nearly 11:00 pm—immersing ourselves in absolute tranquility and avoiding the crowds of large tourist groups.

We will discover ancient archaeological sites where we will learn about native cultures, stopping in the very places where these families lived for centuries, listening to the same sounds of the forest and the sea that they perceived. At sunset, we will head to a cozy structural dome to enjoy a dinner specially designed with regional ingredients. There, by candlelight and facing the silhouette of Mount Cóndor, we will share a warm evening that connects the history, nature, and gastronomy of the end of the world.

Essential Clothing: The "Onion Layer" Method

To ensure comfort during outdoor activities, layered clothing is crucial. The "onion layer" system allows you to adapt your outfit to changing weather conditions and your physical activity level.

Layers: Dress in several thin layers that can easily be added or removed to regulate body temperature against wind or sun.
Footwear: This is the most important item. We recommend waterproof footwear or boots offering robust protection, ideal for traversing wet, muddy, or snowy terrains.
Jacket: A waterproof or water-resistant jacket is essential to effectively protect against rain and wind.


Recommended Clothing:

  • Thermal base layers: shirt and leggings (especially for those who particularly feel the cold).
  • Waterproof trekking boots: for walking on wet or muddy terrain.
  • Fleece or microfleece jacket/sweater.
  • Rain jacket / windbreaker: Ideal: Gore-Tex or softshell.
  • Warm beanie and buff.
  • Gloves.
