The Enchanting Bay of Bahía Ensenada Zaratiegui

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start your journey from the city of Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Take Route 3 northbound, which is the main highway. After approximately 30 km, look for the turnoff toward Ruta J. A. Fernández, which is marked. Follow this road for about 10 km until you reach a fork in the road. Take the left fork which leads you to a scenic route along the coast. Continue following the signs towards Bahía Ensenada Zaratiegui, which is located near the coast. The total drive is about 50 km and takes roughly 1 hour depending on road conditions.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Bahía Ensenada Zaratiegui via public transportation, start from the main bus terminal in Ushuaia. Look for buses that head towards the northern regions of Tierra del Fuego. Some buses may not go directly to Bahía Ensenada Zaratiegui, so it’s best to ask the driver if they can drop you near the bay or if they can recommend a stop close by. The bus ride typically costs around 5,000 to 7,000 CLP (Chilean Pesos) and takes about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the traffic and route taken. Once you get off, you may need to walk approximately 3 km to reach the bay itself.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  If public transportation doesn’t suit your schedule, consider taking a taxi or rideshare service from Ushuaia. This is a more direct and convenient option, especially if you're traveling in a group or have luggage. The fare to Bahía Ensenada Zaratiegui can range from 30,000 to 50,000 CLP depending on the time of day and demand. Ensure you agree on the price before starting your journey.
