Located in the Tierra del Fuego National park of Ushuaia, the Río Encajonado is one of the most beautiful and pristine areas of the Patagonia region. It is a wonderful sight to behold, with its glacial lakes, emerald snow-capped mountains, and verdant meadows. The Encajonado River is the perfect place to camp, observe wildlife, and take hikes in the surrounding wetlands. There are many accessible trails that traverse the lake and its surrounding woods, with plenty of opportunities to observe local birds, mammals, and other fauna. The clear waters of the river are also a great place to canoe and admire the stunning views from the middle of the lake. With over 300 acres of pristine nature reserves to explore and the iconic Mount Martial to the side, you won't be disappointed with a visit to Río Encajonado.
