- Isla de Los Pajaros - Known as Bird Island or Casco Island, this is one of the most renowned natural sanctuaries in the Beagle Channel. Majestic imperial cormorants nest on its rocks and cliffs, their colonies enlivening the landscape with their distinctive black and white feathers. While sailing, one can also observe giant petrels, black-browed albatrosses, skuas, and seagulls, making this remote corner a true haven for bird enthusiasts and photographers.
- Faro Les Eclaireurs - Situated on a small rocky archipelago in the Beagle Channel, just 5 nautical miles from Ushuaia, Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse is among the most photographed sites in Tierra del Fuego. Its name translates to ‘The Explorers’ in French, and it was inaugurated in 1920. It remains operational today, fully automated.
- Isla Martillo - Martillo Island, affectionately called “Penguin Island,” is a crucial natural habitat located in the stunning Beagle Channel in Tierra del Fuego. This small southern land is globally renowned for hosting one of the most significant colonies of Magellanic penguins in the area. Each year, from October to April, thousands of these migratory birds select Martillo Island for their breeding and nesting season. The island not only hosts the Magellanic penguin but also offers a vantage point for observing the graceful Gentoo penguin, making it a prime destination for conservation and wildlife experiences at the continent’s southernmost edge.
