CROSSING TO THE END OF THE WORLD IN SUMMER

We visit Bahía Ensenada from where we will have excellent panoramic views of the Beagle Channel and its Islands and then we go to the Terminal Train Station where we meet again with the rest of the group. In the latter we also have sanitary services.
Along the road surrounded by Lenga forests and peat bogs, we will arrive at Lake Acigami (formerly Lake Roca), a lake of glacial origin, framed by mountains and forests, where it is possible to spot specimens of native birds.
