Departing from our office at the tourist pier of the city of Ushuaia, we head on our boat Eclaireurs heading southeast to discover the Beagle Channel, having as final destination the Estancia Harberton. On the way we will stop at Bird Island where we can see a colony of Imperial Cormorants and other birds such as skuas, giant southern petrels and black-browed albatrosses; In Isla de los Lobos we can appreciate the South American sea lions of one and two hairs. Once in the archipelago Les Eclaireurs we can see the famous homonymous lighthouse which also has colonies of imperial cormorants and rockers in their islets. We will leave the lighthouse to continue sailing to our destination, on the way you can see the predominant vegetation of the area, as well as the town of Puerto Williams (Chile) in Isla Navarino. Once at Estancia Harberton, we will sail for 15 minutes from the pier to Isla Martillo on a semi-rigid boat. On the island we will walk for an hour between Magellanic penguins and papuas, always with a guide. Back at the estancia there will be time for lunch (not including food or drink) and visit the museum of bones of birds and marine mammals Acatushún. After the visit of the museum we will return to the city of Ushuaia in our minibuses through the Provincial Route J and the National Route No3, making a stop on the way to see the emblematic trees.
