Il meglio della Provincia di Terra del Fuoco

Tierra del Fuego Essentials

Tierra del Fuego marks the southernmost tip of Argentina, where the Andes Mountains meet the Atlantic and Southern Oceans. This rugged landscape features the dramatic Paso Garibaldi, the highest point on National Route 3, and the expansive Fagnano Lake, which sits atop a major tectonic fault. The region is defined by turquoise glacial waters like Laguna Esmeralda, the high-altitude Ojo del Albino glacier, and historic unmanned lighthouses along the windswept Atlantic coastline.
