Tierra del Fuego National Park is one of the most frequently visited places in Ushuaia: it is close to the city, it is easily accessible and it does not require to be approached in any particular way. It is said that it can be visited any way you might want, but the sure thing is that it might not reveal its secret to those who do not get into the landscape or do not pay enough attention to the wonders hidden inside it. We propose to discover the true nature of the secret within the Tierra del Fuego National Park. With our specialized (and extraordinary) guides it is possible to get to know in detail this recovered paradise, where the mountains are accessible from the sea, and the fresh water of rivers and lakes mixes with the sea.
