Between the Mountains

Christian our guide and driver picked us up in a Toyota 4 x 4. We joined a lovely family from Argentina. Climbing into a 4 x 4 is not easy but Christian showed me how to do it. He was an excellent guide taking us through a very tough off road route filled with giant potholes and deep mud holes. Our first stop for a coffee break was just before we went bouncing down the trail toward Lake Escondido. We stopped there to walk a bit and enjoy the views. Back into the 4 x 4 we went and through the mountain pass. We stopped a small restaurant and then walked to a shelter where Christian was starting a fire for our lunch. Once the fire was going we let it to burn down to coals and drove to Lake Fagnano. It is a huge lake, very long and very deep. this day there were white caps as it was very windy. Then back for a lunch prepared by Christian. He made everything from scratch. Nothing was prepared ahead he did everything there. he would not allow us to help with anything, including clean-up. It was a wonderful day! This should not be missed!

Tour Yes!

Guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, prompt on the hotel pickup, eager to answer questions. Scenery and lunch were fantastic. The 4 wheel was absolutely necessary on the backroad portion of the tour. It was well worth the money and the time.

Good way to explore inland.

Nice off-road tour into the interior of Tierra del Fuego! It was cool to drive next to and into the edge of the big lake. Lunch was also terrific.

Excellent tour!

We took the tour with the Brasileiros agency in Ushuaia. It was very good, we loved the entire route, the attention of the guide (driver). Ideal for those who like a quiet adventure. It was worth the trip.

Worst experience. Dangerous!

Viator booked with the worst rated company in Ushuaia to provide our tour. The tour included canoeing which we did not book and were not prepared for. We booked 4x4 with lunch by the lake, that is not what we received. We didn’t receive lunch - no food, no water, no options to leave the tour. We were abandoned on private property for over an hour with no cell service. The tour operator told us he hated Americans and then gave us the symbol for cutting your neck as the other 4x4 tried to hit us twice. The driver jumped out of the moving truck to make a “joke”, we were finally offered lunch at 4:00pm at a dog sledding place that was full of animal cruelty and like they were cooking the dogs for lunch. We declined and asked to be taken back to town. When I contacted Viator to ask for refund the request was rejected because the tour operator said they completed the “tour”.
