The Beagle Channel is a strait in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, on the extreme southern tip of South America between Chile and Argentina. It separates the larger main island of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego from various smaller islands. The channel is about 240 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide at its narrowest point. Visitors can sail through the channel, admire the city and its surroundings from a different perspective, visit the Beagle Islands, and reach the emblematic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse. Kayak or canoe excursions along the canal are ideal for those looking for adventure, and diving is also a popular activity, with the opportunity to see sea urchins, starfish, octopus, and king crabs. The channel is also home to a wide range of wildlife, including cormorants, penguins, and sea lions

Activities: We went on a boat trip on the Beagle Channel on the "Barracuda". We approached very closely to the rocks where we could see colonies of cormorants and sea lions
Highlights: We had a great time on the boat! We took our time, and the children could move between the deck and the interior. The captain made sure everyone could see the animals ✨
