A highland wind greets you as the van climbs out of Ushuaia, pushing past lenga forests until the road opens onto the Carbajal Valley—peat bogs glint like dark mirrors, and the Andes lean in from the horizon. On a private day tour to Garibaldi Pass, Lago Escondido and Lago Fagnano you trade the bustle of the harbor for quiet viewpoints, short walks and a countryside lunch where local lamb is slow-roasted over wood.
