PLAYA LARGA

Playa Larga is part of a nature reserve that preserves natural and indigenous heritage. The path to Playa Larga has three points: At the beginning, the mouth of the Olivia River, where kayaking is practised. Further along, the Visitor Center, which, although there are bathrooms open to the public, it is not open all day or all year round. From that point, you can access Playa Larga itself. You can see Yaghan shell middens and also local birds. The path ends in an area called “Baliza Escarpados,” which leads to a cliff. The trail then continues towards Estancia Túnel with several trails leading to intermediate beaches. The path is somewhat muddy and can be challenging in winter, but it is fairly good in summer and on dry days. It is an easy trekking trail, publicly accessible, frequented by locals, tourists, and animals such as cows and horses. It is a windy area most of the year. To film, you must notify the Natural Areas of the Province of Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur. It is strictly forbidden to make fire. The access route is via the paved National Route No. 3, up to the access to the gravel Provincial Route No. 30, which in its first section allows vehicle access up to the Baliza Escarpados. From that point, you continue on a trail or path where people, horses, or wild cattle are allowed. The first trail to Playa Larga is about 8 minutes from the centre by car. The Baliza Escarpados is 20 minutes away.
