What experience do I need to have? How fit do I need to be? Is this program suitable for children or older people?
You need to be used to walking long distances in the outdoors. This program is not suitable for children.
How can I get to the trailhead/meeting point?
We'll pick you up at your hotel!
How will accommodation and meals be handled during the trek?
We'll provide you with a lunch box and snacks for the hike.
Are there any other special requirements such as permits/insurance/vaccines that I need to consider before the tour?
Everything is covered for you, from permits to insurance. Just don't forget your camera!
What is the best time of the year for this hike?
Southern Patagonia is famous for its winds and cloudy weather but in Tierra del Fuego, we get the best days in November and December.
Can I join a group?
Of course, just let me know the dates you'll be in town and I'll try to match you with a group.
What happens in the event of bad weather?
We'll try to reschedule the outing so that you can have the best experience possible.
Does the hike take place in Tierra del Fuego National Park?
No, it doesn't. Tierra del Fuego National Park is just a small part of the region. Most trails take place at Tierra Mayor Provincial Reserve, which is at the east of Ushuaia through road N°3.
What gear do I need?
Tierra del Fuego's weather can be unpredictable, so you need to be prepared for everything. It's pretty usual to start the day with rain, have lunch in the sun, and get back to the car chase by the famous Patagonian winds.
Good high heels hiking boots are mandatory, a rain jacket and pants, a puffy jacket, and gloves come in handy even in the summer.

We did a 2 days hike with Facundo, passing the mountain pass Paso Beban. It was a very good experience, he was very helpful, and has a lot of knowledge. I can strongly recommend an adventure with Facu.
