Puerto Almanza
A small fishing village on the Beagle Channel known for freshly caught king crab and mussels, with Chile's Navarino Island just across the water.
Puerto Almanza is about 75 km from Ushuaia, and the last stretch is on gravel road. It is one of Argentina's easternmost settlements on the Beagle Channel, home to only a few dozen fishing households. Several family-run restaurants here serve king crab, mussels and sea urchin caught that same day, at prices lower than in town, and the area is known as Tierra del Fuego's food route. It can be paired with Estancia Harberton on the same day, by car or on a food tour. Some restaurants open only in summer, so call ahead to confirm.
