    hrs Estimate Duration

See how fresh produce can be grown in a sustainable way in one of the world’s most remote areas. While driving to the farm, you will pass through an extraordinarily pristine landscape and soon understand why the locals are so passionate about protecting it. At Ruca Kelleñ, a farm whose name means “strawberry home” in the aboriginal Mapuche language, the owner will show you how produce is grown in eco-friendly greenhouses to shelter it from Tierra del Fuego’s harsh weather. A sampling that may include just-picked berries and garden-fresh rhubarb will follow, so you can see how tasty the artisanal produce is. A short drive will bring you to the fishing village of Puerto Almanza, from which you will hike through the woods to Cascada de los Duendes, a wonderfully picturesque waterfall. You will have time to enjoy the setting before returning to the village for lunch on your own.
