Itinerary

Day 1 · PUNTA ARENAS-LODGE DESEADO

Parque del Estrecho de Magallanes

1 h 30 min Admission included

After a 10 minutes drive from the hotel we will go and board the ferry to take us across the Strait of Magellan after an hour and 45 minutes enjoying the views of Tierra del Fuego, sea birds and if we are lucky enough dolphins.
Parque Pinguino Rey

1 h 30 min Admission not included

Here we have the option to go and visit the King Penguin Reserve on the way to Lago Deseado or if it doesnt match with their day off we will do it on the way back to Punta Arenas.

The King Penguin Reserve in Tierra del Fuego is an amazing place where more than a hundred of these spectacular birds might be seen in their natural habitat.

Here we have guided tours by our hosts who are lecturers in information about these magnificent species of Penguins as they are all year around leading visitors towards the lookout points in order to respect nature as much as possible. The idea is that they would never expect any human presence to avoid feeling they are being disturbed as they might be incubating their eggs or perhaps there are new chicks in the group.
Stop 3

2 hours

The first views of Bahia Inutil named that way a long time ago, translated would become Useless Bay as the waters of the Strait of Magellan were so shallow more than expected by the navigators coming around these landscapes and actually also has to do with the inmensity of the Bay which does not offer much shelter if the strong winds, typical of the area threat them.
Stop 4

12 hours

In the afternoon for sure, after seeing amazing views of endless pampas, sheep, ranches, sailing in the waters of the Strait of Magellan, enjoying the pristine waters of several lakes in Tierra del Fuego we get to the most spectacular views of Lago Deseado.

Among the different options in this incredible Lodge we can choose from fishing in the Lake Deseado rainbow trouts, brown trouts might be caught.

Another option would be to drive enjoying amazing views of different lakes in amazing colours to go to Caleta Maria in the Almirantazgo Sound.

The Darwins Range is the way how the Cordillera de los Andes in known down here were so many explorers from all over the world came once fascinated by the beauty in order to survey the Terra Incognita.

Here there is an optional tour by boat which takes an hour to go and visit the elephant seals colony or perhaps you might be interested in joining this full day tour to go and visit three glaciers and another one of the elephant seals colonies of the area. A great day
