It snowed and everything transformed.
Our guide Luis Coria felt like being with family; the food he prepared was perfect, and the dog sledding was a unique activity with extraordinary landscapes—a dream at the end of the world, USHUAIA, although we are mistaken because for us it is the beginning of the world.
Response from the operator: Estimado Daniel! Es un honor haber podido disfrutar junto a ustedes esta maravillosa experiencia Lagos 4WD Off Road. Desde Kaitek (Luz en idioma Yámana) nos esforzamos al máximo en cada aventura para que ustedes puedan llevarse los mejores recuerdos para toda la vida. Transitar junto a ustedes por sendas y sitios donde vivieron y forjaron la historia nuestros pueblos originarios es lo que más nos apasiona. Poder compartir momentos en sitios sagrados como transitar por los lagos Escondido y Lago Fagnano es algo que solo se puede vivir en el Fin del Mundo, y con toda la buena energía que todos nos aportan, tanto ustedes como nosotros. La calidad de nuestros guías, quienes combinan calidad gastronómica con excelente atención, nos llena de orgullo. Pero principalmente nos llena de emoción que podamos llegar al corazón de cada uno de ustedes con cada experiencia, las cuales esperamos que queden grabadas para toda la vida. Les mando un cálido abrazo y nuevamente gracias!!! Germán.

Caesar, excellent pilot and steakhouse!
The views are amazing and the tour is very picturesque, but I can not fail to mention the good vibe and interest of Caesar to make us feel comfortable and have a good time at every moment of the trip. The day I travel to Antarctica as a guide, we will do it with him, no doubt. It is also very good steakhouse! WE'LL BE BACK!

The best possible company
Excellent experience, essential scenery and relevant explanations, with stops at the pleasure of travelers. The roast and sweet lunch was excellent. I was traveling alone, but with the guide Caesar and the other travelers it was like being in a group of friends, a really special day with the best possible vibe.

Operator is a SCAMMER & Cannot be TRUSTED!!!!! Avoid!!!!
THIS OPERATOR IS A SCAMMER & CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!!! I booked a tour (1 of many) with Viator Australia 6 months in advance - Escondido and Fagnano Lakes Tour with Breakfast in Stay I shoud have been suspicious in the beginning, when they NEVER RESPONDED TO QUESTIONS about our hotel pickup! A few days before the due date the company started contacting me via WhatApp. They then constantly changed their minds about the tour details and whether they can pick us and our luggage up or not for days. After finally AGREEING to Pick us up. They then suddenly tell me they cannot transfer our luggage as agreed! Also they are saying that the tour DOES NOT include Lunch (BREAKFAST), so that would cost us extra AND the tour will NOT RETURN UNTIL AFTER 4PM. NOT 3PM as advertised. (They found out we had a plane to catch!) They tried to "OFFER A PRIVATE TOUR" but of course THAT WOULD COST MUCH MORE! They contacted me via WhatsApp (probably so Viator had no record of their lies and the SCAMS THEY ARE RUNNING!) They then asked me to cancel the booking, but I told them I CANNOT since it is within 24 Hours and they have wasted so much time and I won't get a refund. THEY OBVIOUSLY DID NOT WANT TO CONTACT VIATOR so they would have to admit their SCAMS. Eventually, Viator agreed to refund my money, but the SCAMMERS HAD ALREADY BEEN PAID!
Response from the operator: Dear Greg, thank you very much for your feedback; comments from our valued travelers help us improve. I should point out that you were offered a superior alternative—a private service—which you declined. The company attempted to resolve the issue in your favor, as we believe is appropriate when a mistake occurs. We always strive for everything to go smoothly and to maintain the highest quality standards; when that does not happen, we seek the best possible solution for the customer. I am very sorry that you were not satisfied with the service. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Germán.

Escondido and Fagnano Lakes Tour with Breakfast in Stay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ushuaia.
How much does Escondido and Fagnano Lakes Tour with Breakfast in Stay cost?
+
Prices start at $116 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ushuaia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Escondido and Fagnano Lakes Tour with Breakfast in Stay take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ushuaia is not rushed.
Is Escondido and Fagnano Lakes Tour with Breakfast in Stay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ushuaia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Escondido and Fagnano Lakes Tour with Breakfast in Stay?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Escondido and Fagnano Lakes Tour with Breakfast in Stay suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Escondido and Fagnano Lakes Tour with Breakfast in Stay?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ushuaia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ushuaia and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Escondido and Fagnano Lakes Tour with Breakfast in Stay start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ushuaia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ushuaia?
+
On Outty we rank every Ushuaia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking and Premium Floe Lagoon, King Crab Route 4WD Off Road with lunch in Puerto Almanza, Tierra del Fuego National Park – Small Groups. Optional Train. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ushuaia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ushuaia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Escondido and Fagnano Lakes Tour with Breakfast in Stay?

+
