Perched on the very edge of the world, the Beagle Channel village of Puerto Almanza is devoted to specialized fishing, crabbing, shellfish harvesting and other seafood traditions.
Embark on a captivating full-day adventure through Patagonia’s breathtaking wilderness and vibrant coastal culture.
Your experience begins as you depart Ushuaia and travel along National Route 3, passing through lush native forest and scenic gravel roads. After approximately one hour, you’ll arrive at Laguna Victoria, an ancient and tranquil site where you’ll enjoy a light snack surrounded by pristine nature.
Continue to a panoramic viewpoint near the iconic Flag Tree for a brief photo stop, capturing sweeping vistas of this wild, remote landscape.
As you venture further south, you’ll reach the charming fishing village of Puerto Almanza, Argentina’s southernmost fishing port, nestled along the picturesque Beagle Channel. Here, you’ll explore the waterfront and learn about local crab and shellfish harvesting traditions.
Your visit concludes with a special cooking class at a local fisherman’s restaurant. Learn how to prepare centolla (spider crab) and then sit down to enjoy a freshly prepared lunch featuring distinctive regional flavors—all while gazing out over the serene waters of the Channel.
