Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 4x4 Lakes in Ushuaia?
It's an off-road excursion in a 4x4 truck that travels around Lakes Escondido and Fagnano, crossing the Andes Mountains via the Garibaldi Pass. It includes sections on dirt and snow-covered roads impassable for conventional vehicles, and ends with lunch at a private refuge.
Is it possible to do Lagos 4x4 in winter?
Yes, and it's especially breathtaking. The snow-covered roads and the white landscape of the Andes make this journey a completely different experience from the summer version. The trucks are equipped for all types of winter terrain.
Is lunch included?
Yes. The barbecue at the private lodge is included in the tour price. Extra drinks are paid separately.
Is it suitable for children or the elderly?
Yes. Although the off-road section is dynamic and exhilarating, you travel comfortably seated in the 4x4. It requires no physical effort and is suitable for the whole family.
What is the difference between Lagos 4x4 and conventional Lagos?
The 4x4 version includes the off-road section along sawmill trails and lunch at a private lodge. The standard version visits the same lakes but on paved roads, without the adventure component or lunch included.

Is there a minimum age to take the tour?

Not at all! There are no age restrictions. It's an excursion designed for everyone to enjoy. The little ones have a blast with the adventure in the van, and the grown-ups are amazed by the scenery of our lakes.

In Ushuaia, we always say you can experience all four seasons in a single day. That's why the secret is to dress in layers. We suggest bringing comfortable shoes (ideal for hiking), a waterproof jacket, a fleece, and of course, lots of enthusiasm!

4x4 adventures are much better with a bit of mud or snow! Trips are not cancelled due to rain.

Yes, and it's one of the best moments of the day! As it's a full-day excursion, we make a good stop at our refuge to enjoy a delicious hot lunch (with options for vegetarians and celiacs), ideal for recharging our energy in the middle of nature.

It's a great outing to share with the family! However, keep in mind that the essence of this excursion is the 4x4 adventure. We travel on uneven, muddy roads, which generates quite a bit of movement and bouncing inside the vehicle. Therefore, although it doesn't require physical exertion, we don't recommend it for people with back or neck problems, or reduced mobility. Our priority is always your comfort and safety!

Yes, don't worry about a thing! We'll pick you up directly from your hotel, Airbnb, or other accommodation within downtown Ushuaia. Since we're sharing this adventure with other passengers, we'll contact you via WhatsApp the day before the tour to reconfirm the exact time our van will be arriving. At the end of the day, we'll drop you off back at your accommodation.
