Two days of quiet. Wood-heated hot tubs by the shore of Lake Fagnano, wooden cabañas, cooking over fire. Connection — only Starlink, and only in places. I send people here who need to exhale after Antarctica, or just after life.

Questions and answers
Where is it? +
Cabañas Laguna Negra on the shore of Lake Fagnano — 110 km from Ushuaia, 2 hours by car via Paso Garibaldi. Wild place, nearest store 50 km away. Ideal for switching off.
What's in the tubs? +
Wood-heated hot tubs on the shore — wooden barrels with water heated by firewood under the tub. Temperature 38-40°C. 6-8 people per tub. Outside — the cold Tierra del Fuego air, the contrast is the therapy.
What's included in the stay? +
Wooden cabaña for 2-4 people with woodstove, bathroom, kitchen. Full board: breakfast, lunch (asado), dinner by the fireplace. Firewood and Wi-Fi included [Wi-Fi via Starlink, decent speed].
Can I bring kids? +
Kids 8+ — yes, if they can handle the drive and sit calmly in the tub for 20-30 min. Less entertainment for younger ones — the point here is silence.
What to bring? +
Swimsuit, flip-flops, warm clothes (evenings get cold), flashlight. Towels, bedding, robes — provided. If you want to hike — trekking boots.
Similar tours
Beagle Channel + lighthouse
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.
Martillo Island Penguins
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.
Laguna Esmeralda
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.
