What we show
Excursions I lead myself
Sea
Year-round
Beagle Channel + lighthouse
Half day · Boat · up to 3 ppl
Half a day on a catamaran to Les Éclaireurs lighthouse and sea lion colonies. The most popular boat trip in Ushuaia — and yes, I love it too, even after a hundred times leading it. The Beagle Channel is the water that separates us from Antarctica.

Sea
Oct–April
Martillo Island Penguins
10 hours · Car + boat · up to 3 ppl (up to 11 on request)
10 hours and three small wonders. In the morning — the Ruca Kellen chacra with raspberries and strawberries at Andrés's place; then lunch with seafood in the fishing village of Almanza; and the finale — Martillo Island. The only place in the world where you're allowed to walk between the penguins.

Trekking
November–April
Laguna Esmeralda
5–6 hours · On foot · up to 3 ppl
Turquoise you don't believe in until you see it. 9 km on foot through lenga beech forest and beaver dams — and there it is, the Emerald Lagoon. I do this hike year-round and feel a bit embarrassed by my own oohs and aahs each time. But it really is wow.

National Park
Year-round
National Park + Train
Half day · Car + train · up to 3 ppl
The one. The most popular excursion in Ushuaia — and for good reason. Tierra del Fuego National Park + the narrow-gauge End of the World train, the southernmost railway in the world. Half a day, car and train, plus the point where Ruta 3 ends and everything else begins.

4x4
November–April
Lakes: Escondido + Fagnano
Full day · 4x4 · up to 3 ppl
Two lakes you can't reach in a regular car. Via Paso Garibaldi and the dirt road — to Escondido and Fagnano. Full day, lunch on the shore. If you're lucky, you'll see beaver dams along the way [an invasive species that reshaped the whole hydrology of the island — a story in its own right].
from $450

Aerial
Year-round
Helicopter over Ushuaia
15 minutes · Helicopter · Group
15 minutes — and the whole island is laid out below you. Ushuaia from above, the harbor with sailboats, the Martial glacier, the Beagle Channel. Only Robinson R44 (3 seats), only the best pilots from HeliUshuaia, only when the weather lets us fly. Tierra del Fuego decides — sometimes we reschedule.

About us
A family of guides at the end of the world
We're Vanya and Vika Bogaty. We've lived in Ushuaia since 2023, guides since 2017. Before Tierra del Fuego I led groups in Svalbard and Antarctica, Vanya — in the Caucasus and the Arctic. By first profession I'm a film director and journalist, so on our excursions you get more stories than "on your left — a cathedral, on your right — a fountain."
Over 8 years of work — more than 2,000 guests. 18,000 km on a campervan across Argentina to understand the country from inside. Now we live in the southernmost city of the world with our daughter Agata [a little Argentine, born here].
A guide's job is to create context. I don't show — I TELL.

★★★★★
An interesting, large-scale tour organized and led by Vika lets you get to know Tierra del Fuego's nature and history from different sides. You visit a local farm, the lighthouse, and of course see the penguins. Everything was clearly organized, the schedule sent in advance was followed exactly. Vika told us about Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego with real enthusiasm, sharing her own experience and interesting details. Thank you so much!
