You step out of the office into a cold, sharp air; the e-bikes hum to life and the coastal forest swallows the sound of the town. The trail climbs briefly out of Baliza de Escarpados, then ducks under low canopy where cinnamon (canelo) and the squat notro push their flowers toward the pale southern light. The Beagle Channel appears like a silver tongue, daring you to pause for the view.

You step out of the office into a cold, sharp air; the e-bikes hum to life and the coastal forest swallows the sound of the town. The trail climbs briefly out of Baliza de Escarpados, then ducks under low canopy where cinnamon (canelo) and the squat notro push their flowers toward the pale southern light. The Beagle Channel appears like a silver tongue, daring you to pause for the view.
This route follows paths that link a 19th–20th century ranching past—Estancia Túnel was part of Tierra del Fuego’s agricultural expansion—and a coastline shaped by glacial scouring and marine tides. The subantarctic forest is compact and wind-formed, and fruit bushes and invasive beaver activity are visible signs of human and ecological history. Guides add cultural context about local ranching life and the region’s maritime routes as you roll.
Expect roughly 12–18 km of mixed singletrack and coastal trail, with total ascent in the order of 100–200 m; e-assist smooths climbs but some pedal work is required. Terrain includes packed earth, occasional rocks, a small river crossing and exposed coastal ridge views at two panoramic points—the open field hill above the channel and the ranch center—plus a rest at “Encajonado” with a hot infusion. Return follows the same route to Baliza de Escarpados where transport takes you back to town for the included sandwich and drink.
Practical edge: wear layered, waterproof clothing, bring water and personal ID, and be ready for variable winds and quick temperature shifts. The experience suits riders comfortable on uneven trails and able to sustain moderate effort for a half-day outing.
moderate.
5 hours.
Good aerobic fitness recommended — riders should be comfortable pedaling on uneven singletrack for several hours with e-assist support.
The tour uses pedal-assist e-bikes — you still pedal, but the motor assists climbs and extends range.
Participants should have good aerobic fitness; the route is moderate with some climbs and requires sustained pedaling even with assist.
Yes — the operator provides a short vehicle transfer from the commercial office to the Baliza de Escarpados trailhead.
A sandwich and drink are included, and a hot infusion is served at a mid-ride stop; bring extra water and snacks if you prefer more.
Estancia Túnel sits on land shaped by early ranching and maritime routes in Tierra del Fuego; European settlers and local ranchers left visible fences, corrals and paths that the tour passes by.
The subantarctic forest is fragile and affected by invasive beavers and past grazing; stay on trails, pack out waste and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
