Combined Harberton Ranch - SUSPENDED

SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE We set sail from the local tourist pier along the wide Ushuaia Bay until we reach the Beagle Channel through Paso Chico. There we sail around the Isla de los Pájaros (Birds Island) where we will appreciate the Fuegian avifauna observing Skuas, Black-browed Albatrosses, Steamer Ducks, Geese, Kelp Gulls and Grey Gulls; and the Isla de los Lobos (Sea Lions Island) where we can observe sea lions of one and two hairs. Both islands belong to the Bridges Archipelago. Arriving at Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse (The Illuminators), we will be able to appreciate the colonies of Imperial Cormorants and Rock Cormorants; and also listen to the story of the sinking of the SS Monte Cervantes in 1930. Continuing, we will sail eastwards enjoying the wonderful landscapes of the channel and the mountains that surround it, there we will see on the Argentine coast Puerto Almanza and on the Chilean coast the Puerto Williams Naval Base, and then we will arrive at Matillo Island where we will have the opportunity to see a colony of Magellanic Penguins and some specimens of Gentoo Penguins. Then we will go to Estancia Harberton where we will disembark. You will stay there for about 2 hours, and you will be able to take a tour of the ranch where you will visit the first natural reserve of Tierra del Fuego, the shearing shed, the carpentry, the boat house and finally the garden of the main house, and then you can have a drink at the Manacatush tea house (not included) or visit the Museum of Birds and Southern Marine Mammals Acatushún. At the end of the tour we will board the company's buses for a direct transfer by land to the tourist pier.
