Maritime Museum & Former Prison of Ushuaia

A boat tour on the Beagle Channel offers a unique opportunity to explore the wild beauty of Patagonia’s southernmost waters. As you cruise through this picturesque channel, you’ll be surrounded by dramatic landscapes, from jagged mountains to lush islands. The tour often includes stops at local landmarks like the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, and you’ll likely encounter local wildlife such as sea lions, cormorants, and even the occasional dolphin. What we like about the Beagle Channel boat tour is the perfect blend of adventure and serenity, where the stunning natural scenery and vibrant wildlife combine to create an unforgettable experience in Argentina’s southernmost corner.

Lapataia Bay is more than a body of water—it’s the final punctuation of the legendary Pan-American Highway and a place where silence has texture. With Viventura, you’ll sail into the wild curves of Tierra del Fuego National Park, where forest, fjord, and sky blur into one.

What we like about Lapataia Bay is its poetic finality—the sense that the world narrows here, not into emptiness, but into something pure. As sea birds circle and lenga forests reflect in dark waters, you’ll feel both small and infinite.

Viventura’s boat tours are intimate and expertly guided. You'll learn how indigenous peoples once navigated these waters in canoes, how glaciers carved the coastline, and why foxes, condors, and beavers all call this southern edge home. No rush, no noise—just Patagonia’s quiet answer to the rest of the world.

The End of the World Museum in Ushuaia offers an enlightening journey into the history, culture, and natural beauty of Argentina’s southernmost city. Its diverse collection of artifacts and exhibits spans indigenous history, the whaling industry, and the region’s development, giving visitors a unique window into life at the edge of the world.

What makes the museum special is how it connects travelers to Ushuaia’s past, providing context for the city’s present and a deeper appreciation of Tierra del Fuego’s remote and captivating landscapes. For history enthusiasts and cultural explorers alike, it’s a must-visit stop in this extraordinary corner of the globe.

Tierra del Fuego National Park is a true hiker’s paradise, showcasing some of the most pristine and dramatic landscapes in Patagonia. Situated at the southern tip of Argentina, the park features rugged mountains, dense forests, and crystal-clear lakes, with trails suited for all levels—from gentle nature walks to challenging treks.

As you explore, you may encounter unique wildlife such as guanacos, beavers, and a variety of birds, all set against the backdrop of breathtaking scenery. The park’s proximity to the Southern Ocean adds spectacular coastal views, making each hike a feast for the senses. What makes Tierra del Fuego so special is its untouched wilderness, offering an immersive Patagonian adventure and a perfect escape into nature.

In Puerto Almanza, where the road ends and the Beagle Channel begins, there’s a kitchen waiting just for you. With Viventura, you’ll join local chefs in a live cooking experience where Patagonia’s raw bounty meets warm southern hospitality. Picture fresh king crab pulled from icy waters, firewood crackling, and a view of Chile across the strait.

What we like about Puerto Almanza is the intimacy—you’re not just watching a meal being made; you’re shaping it, seasoning it, and savoring it together with those who live from the land and sea. It’s slow travel at its most flavorful.

Viventura takes care of timing, translation, and transport. You just bring your appetite and curiosity. From the chopping board to the last shared toast, this is a taste of Tierra del Fuego you’ll carry home in memory and in spice.
