Insider tips
- ★The park's weather changes rapidly—bring layered clothing even in summer, as wind and sudden rain are common in southern Patagonia
- ★Book for morning departure to maximize daylight and avoid afternoon wind gusts that can affect paddling comfort
- ★Arrive in Ushuaia 1–2 days early to acclimatize; the combination of hiking altitude and paddling can be more demanding than expected
Good to know
- •Water shoes or hiking boots with good grip are essential; trails can be muddy and canoe access involves rocky shores
- •Bring sunscreen, hat, and waterproof jacket—the sun reflects intensely off water and weather is unpredictable year-round
- •No prior paddling or hiking experience required; guide provides instruction and equipment
- •Pickup and drop-off logistics from central Ushuaia are typically included; confirm meeting point and time when booking
