    2. Beagle Channel Wildlife Cruise & Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse

    5.0· 3 reviews· 3 hours

    I experienced the end of the world as it should be: sailing along the legendary Beagle Channel, off the coast of Ushuaia. The journey takes you straight to the heart of wildlife: Seabird Island, where cormorants dominate the sky, and Sea Lion Island, where these incredible animals rest just a few meters from your camera. Pure, unfiltered nature. The highlight comes in front of the iconic Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse, the most famous postcard image of southern Argentina. A solitary red and white lighthouse in the middle of a breathtaking landscape. We finish with a landing on Bridges Island and a short walk to a natural viewpoint: city, mountains, and canal in a single image. It's more than an excursion. It's experiencing Patagonia in its wildest state.
