Snow compresses under the runners; a cold wind edges the valley and the huskies pull eager as coiled springs. At Husky Park in Tierra Mayor you step out of the city and into a wide, wind-sculpted plain where dog teams, a dome shelter and a line of snowmobiles carve the winter day.

Snow compresses under the runners; a cold wind edges the valley and the huskies pull eager as coiled springs. At Husky Park in Tierra Mayor you step out of the city and into a wide, wind-sculpted plain where dog teams, a dome shelter and a line of snowmobiles carve the winter day.
This corner of Tierra del Fuego sits on the leeward side of the Martial Range, shaped by glaciers and salt-lipped seas. The sled-dog tradition here borrows from Arctic working breeds and South American expedition history — dogs that once helped explorers now give short guided runs for visitors. The landscape is honest: open fields, low lenga stands, and distant ridgelines that frame Ushuaia on the horizon.
Expect a 1.2 km guided sledge ride guided by handlers, followed by safety instruction and a paired 5 km snowmobile loop led by a guide. Guides explain dog care, harnessing and local weather patterns; you’ll have time to hug and photograph the dogs and warm up with hot chocolate in the heated dome.
Practicalities: the tour runs ~5 hours with ground transport from Ushuaia, requires warm layered and waterproof clothing, and mandates helmets for snowmobiles. It’s accessible to most travelers (minimum age rules apply) but not recommended for pregnant guests or those with serious spinal or heart conditions.
Timing your visit midweek or early morning improves photo light and reduces crowding. Bring charged batteries (cold drains them), a weatherproof camera and the right boots—this is a tactile, close-to-nature winter day that rewards simple preparation.
