Fans of the brand new Mount Castor love it for three or four reasons. They say that it offers one of the longest seasons, with skiing from June until October without much variation in the quantity and quality of the snow. In addition, with its bases practically at sea level, skiing can be done with the most oxygen possible - which decreases the risk of cardio-breathing problems.

Located 20 km from Ushuaia, the most southerly ski center in the world is covered with thick birch forest. This is gratifying to the skiing experience: coming out of a wall of high gray trunks, their tops heavy with snow, the sea appears.

• Included: transport, Ski pass, Ski equipment.
• Time: Full Day.
• Type: transfer to the ski centre can be booked privately and as group service. The best time for skiing is between July and September. Please contact us for rates and ski possibilities.

Located in the Southwestern Tierra del Fuego province, over the borderline with Chile, this National Park is the an example of the Andean - Patagonian forest. It was created in 1960 and has a surface of 63.000 hectares. In this area the final part of the Andes features a northwest - southeast orientation. The peaks alternate with valleys where there are rivers and glacial originated lakes. Two types of forests are dominant here: those of Lenga and Guindo trees, both with an open under-wood mainly consisting of moss and fern. In the spaces between the forests there is plenty of peat in the very humid and flooded areas where the sphagnum moss grows. On the seashore, the two great bays (Lapataia and Ensenada ) are covered in gorges and beaches that are full of white cauquenes. There are also black-eyebrowed albatross (over two meters long) that cohabit with the steam duck and the diving petrel. There is also a rare kind of otter named chungungo. Other species are the guanaco and a particular Tierra del Fuego variety of red fox. The Canadian beaver, an introduced species, has caused a great environmental impact because it cuts down trees in order to build dams, which, in turn, provoke floods in certain parts of the forest where the trees also die as a consequence of the excess of water.
