Description
With the Helicopter Overflight Excursion in Tierra del Fuego over the city of Ushuaia, you will enjoy unique panoramic views of the End of the World, Beagle Channel, mountains, islands, and glaciers from a different perspective , all while experiencing a memorable adventure. You will have the chance to fly over the city of Ushuaia and visit Laguna Esmeralda and Valle Carbajal.
The activity starts from the old airport, where you will have your first contact with the helicopters. One of the helicopters used (Robinson 44 Raven I) can accommodate up to 3 passengers, and the excursion is confirmed with a minimum of 2 passengers. Due to its design, it offers extensive visibility with a front windshield that extends from ceiling to floor, making it ideal for enjoying the breathtaking Fuegian landscapes without any visual restrictions. It is such a reliable aircraft that it was the most produced and sold helicopter in the market between 1999 and 2017.
After a brief safety briefing, we will begin by flying over Ushuaia Bay , then proceed to the Olivia River Valley , where we will appreciate the majestic Monte Olivia and the characteristic Monte Cinco Hermanos. Just as the vastness starts to take your breath away, we will spot Valle Carbajal, with its distinctive peat composition formed over thousands of years.
The adventure continues as we cross the valley and access a second mountain range that houses an incredible body of water called Laguna Esmeralda, named for its extraordinary color, which stands out particularly during the summer, and maintains a color that contrasts with the landscape during the fall, eventually freezing and turning white during snowy winters. This natural wonder is one of the most visited attractions at the End of the World.
The excursion offers a 15-minute overflight of the Valle Carbajal area, but optionally, you can extend the flight time to visit other areas of the Andes Mountains, Great Lakes, and Beagle Channel, with some cases including the possibility of landing in the mountain range.
