Tierra Mayor Valley
Valle de Tierra Mayor
A glacial valley near Cerro Castor offering dog-sled rides, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in winter, and horseback riding in summer.
Valle de Tierra Mayor lies beside Route 3, about 20 km from Ushuaia. High mountains flank the valley, and peat bogs cover the valley floor. The valley has several sled-dog centers and cross-country ski centers. In winter they offer Alaskan husky sled rides, snowshoe hikes and snowmobiling, and you can eat grilled meat in a log cabin. In summer the activities switch to horseback riding, hiking and visiting the kennels. The classic Lake District day tour often stops here.
