While hiking four days along the Beagle channel coast from Ushuaia to Puerto Almanza I was amazed by the many different views along the trail. My views changed about as fast as the clouds and sun. From extended views along the coast to little bays and beaches, through thick forests on muddy trails along miraculous trees, a tiny bit of civilization personalized by coastal estancias, beautiful wild camping spots, and always surrounded by mountains and sea … every kilometer was marked by stunning scenery, every minute was in awe and bliss.
