Sailing Ushuaia Beagle Channel in a yatch
Overview
We will enjoy a relaxing yatch sailing through the historic and challenging Beagle Channel, the cradle of countless historic shipwrecks in these icy waters south of the Strait of Magellan. One of the objectives will be to obtain the typical postcard with the lighthouse behind us.
We set sail from the tourist pier along the wide Ushuaia Bay, observing from another perspective the profile of the city of Ushuaia and the geographical distribution at the foot of the Andes Mountains; until reaching the Beagle Channel through the Paso Chico.
There we sail around the Island of the Birds where we appreciate the Fuegian birds such as Skúas, Black-browed Albatross, Steam Ducks, Cauquenes, Cook Gulls and Gray Gulls. We go on around the sea lions’ island where we can see specimens of sea lions with one and two hairs. Both islands belong to the Bridges archipelago.

La experiencia es muy buena, el barco es pequeño y va poca gente, ya que te cuidan con todos los protocolos. El guía en este caso fue Andrés que nos alcanzó y explico cómo sería todo y luego Cristian en la navegación, ambos saben muchísimo, con excelentes explicaciones y grandes recomendaciones. ...

Latitud de lució te tambien con esta salida. Duro casi toda la tarde, incluyo infusiones calentitas y avistamiento de animales, incluso apareció una ballena!! Tuvieron la amabilidad de tener en cuenta que íbamos con bebé y hasta ofrecernos tomar una foto dentro del yate con el faro de fondo toda la familia. La parte que de baja a la isla (depende del clima) es muy interesante también, y muy bella. Se lucieron!! Muchas gracias!!
