We will cross the mountain range, skirt Mount Olivia with views of the Alvear Range, and ascend to Garibaldi Pass to enjoy breathtaking views of Hidden Lake (Lago Escondido) and Fagnano Lake.

From Ushuaia, we'll pass by the old Presidio and through the forest, discovering the Bride's Veil (Velo de Novia) waterfall. While skirting Mount Olivia, we'll see the Alvear Range and the giant peat valley.

After ascending to Garibaldi Pass (with photo stop), we'll descend to Hidden Lake where the Petrel Hosteria is located, with time to explore the area.

Then we'll take National Route Nº3 passing by sawmills and lenga forests, until reaching Fagnano Lake to spot albatrosses and other seabirds.
