Puerto Almanza
Live the experience of exploring the southernmost town in Argentine Patagonia.
At the end of the world, the charm of a fishermen’s town awaits you. Amid desolate places, on the coast of the Beagle Channel, find the warmth of Puerto Almanza. Watch the ships sailing off to sea, and those that rest anchored on the shore. See the typical homes, sail the ice-cold water body, and come to Estancia Harberton, a historical place where you will have the chance to visit a museum.
Did you know that Puerto Almanza is also famous for its food? Indulge in tasting its typical dishes at traditional restaurants served by families. Enjoy the most famous local meal: Patagonian king crab, fished just a few meters away, and cooked on the spot so you can get all its freshness and flavor. Also try other delicacies from the sea, such as mussels, Magellan mussels, trout, and sea bass. Live it all in Tierra del Fuego.
