Such a catchy phrase. Of course, if you are touring in the area, you must have a picture of it. So, on your voyage through the Beagle Channel by catamaran, the catamaran will stop at this lighthouse and pivot, so everyone on the deck can have photo access to it. You will also see cormorants, sea lions and penguins on other islands in the Beagle Channel. Now that you have the iconic picture, you might want to know something about the lighthouse This lighthouse at the end of the world and the beautiful island on which it lies inspired one of Jules Verne’s lesser known books, "Lighthouse at the End of the World", an adventure story about a tenacious lighthouse keeper and a sadistic band of pirates.The French author started writing the book in 1901 and it was published posthumously in 1905. The lighthouse is built on the Isla de los Estados island some 29 kilometers from the mainland of Argentina’s southern most province Tierra del Fuego. It is powered by solar power. The iconic picture, with the mountains in the background, will be lovely, especially on a sunny day. I was debating how many stars to give Faro Les Eclaireurs One sees it for only a few minutes in passing. But, there is only one lighthouse at the end of the world. If you are lucky enough to be close enough to take a picture of it, you will have done something most of your friends have not. I give it a five for the bragging rights :).

Viedma Glacier is located in Los Glaciares National Park in the Province of Santa Cruz and is the largest in Argentina. It flows directly from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field to the lake. Its front is 40mt from the level of the lake. Their risings are located in the heart of the ice field between 1.500 y 2.200 msnm. It has some dark, deep lines on the surface that are volcanic ashes strips mixed with ice. Also, it has suffered many repressions but not as important as the rest of the glaciers. Viedma Lake was discovered by Antonio de Viedma, in 1877 when Francisco Pascacio Moreno and Carlos Maria Moyano where on an expedition and discovered is location and characteristics. It belongs to the hydric basin of the Santa Cruz River.

A thoroughly nice and knowledgeable young mountain guide was assigned to our bus and boat tour on Feb. 20th, when splendid weather made this excursion through the solitary Patagonian landscape an eye-candy with vistas of Fitz Roy on the way to the boat landing on Lake Viedma and a spectacular lake-bound trip to the glacier.

Spent a pleasant Saturday travelling from Esquel on return journey. Although commentary was in Spanish the hostess provided us with an informative short audio guide in English and checked we were OK a number of times during the journey. Get to the station early and walk over to the engine shed and watch the engine being prepared -photos without the crowds too! No problem climbing into engine for photos either. Very helpful pleasant crew. At turnaround station we went into the dining car and shared an excellent toasted sandwich and homemade lemon pie served by a charming young lady. Delicious. A really good excursion.

"Cueva de las Manos" takes you back in time to a moment in history when aboriginal tribes devoted their time and effort to illustrate their daily lives, their rituals and beliefs on the walls of the gorge. It is certainly a very interesting visit, not only for the cultural aspect of it, but also due to the impressive landscape where the paintings are displayed. Totally worth visiting!

Viví un apasionante viaje por la historia mítica de Tierra del Fuego. Con más de 36 escenas y 120 figuras de personajes de la historia de Tierra del Fuego, todo en tamaño natural y con una increíble apariencia real, acompañado con auriculares y una audioguía en diferentes idiomas.

I thought this was going to be cheesy but turned out to be a lot of fun and educational. You can step in to a lot of the exhibits and get some fun photos. We were a bit rushed to try to get through all of the presentations but you could easily spend 1.5 to 2 hours here.
