I love nature, and that's why I care for it and teach others how to care for it. I enjoy trekking in the forest and mountains, just as I enjoy leisurely cycling. I want to continue meeting people from other countries to show them our history, culture, and the natural beauty of Ushuaia.

Tour description
The tour is divided into three parts:
- The first part lasts 30/35 minutes on foot, starting from the meeting point, it goes through part of the Ushuaia forest and allows you to learn a bit about the city's history, as until 1949, the prisoners' train used to pass through there, transporting firewood to supply the city and the prison. You can also appreciate the surrounding nature with abundant vegetation: lengas, willows, and various other species of trees, shrubs, and wild plants. Some bird species can be seen or heard, and sometimes a few foxes. It's a very peaceful place to walk, with clean and fresh air, without any disturbing noises. You can still see some of the sleepers from the small train tracks!
- The second part of the journey lasts 30 minutes and leads to the "Nahiara" waterfall, which is a water drop approximately 6 meters high, in the middle of the forest, at the foot of Cerro Bridges. Points of interest such as Monte Susana, Beagle Channel, Airport, Karting Track, Cerro Bridges can be observed. Here we take a short 10-minute break.
- The third part of the tour lasts 30 minutes and heads back to the meeting point but returns through quiet neighborhoods with houses of different shapes and constructions, seeing other points of interest: Ushuaia Port, Monte Olivia, Monte Cinco Hermanos.
I recommend wearing warm clothing and waterproof footwear, as there may be puddles of water and mud. Each season of the year gives the tour its charm, making it a very photogenic place!
