Gable Island is the tour for those who arrive in Ushuaia searching for the world’s end. Away from the tourist-crowded areas, and in the middle of the Beagle Channel, this place is recommended worldwide by word-of-mouth. Gable Island offers us nature untouched and history in the present tense.
On our way to Gable Island we’ll also see penguins. This adventure summarizes the history and the natural variety of Tierra del Fuego.
In Gable Island we’ll find the remains of the Yamana civilization and those of the first white settlers. This area shows an infinite and primal landscape, both magic and extreme. Surrounded by silence, where only the wind and the birds are heard, we might experience the feeling of being alone in the world.
