About this activity

This immersive tour captures the raw beauty of Tierra del Fuego's backcountry with multiple ways to traverse the snow-covered terrain, culminating in a warming barbecue dinner.

Insider tips

  • ★Layer aggressively: Ushuaia nights drop well below freezing, even in shoulder seasons; thermal base layers are essential
  • ★Arrive at your hotel 10–15 minutes before pickup to avoid delays on icy roads
  • ★The dog-sled segment is typically the most popular—arrive rested and ready for the full physical engagement
  • ★Ask your guide about astronomical conditions; clear winter nights offer exceptional Southern Hemisphere star-gazing opportunities

Good to know

  • •Warm, waterproof jacket, insulated gloves, and closed-toe hiking boots required; rental options may be limited, so bring your own if possible
  • •Snowshoeing and snowmobiling involve moderate to high physical exertion; not suitable for severe mobility limitations, though dog sledding is low-impact
  • •Hotel pickup and drop-off included; confirm your accommodation address and contact details 24 hours in advance
  • •Tour operates year-round, but snow coverage and visibility vary significantly by season and recent weather
