Immense pampas, fjords, channels and unexplored mountains make up this unique territory declared as a Biosphere Reserve and ancestrally traveled by the Selknam by land and the Yámanas by the coast. “Deep Bay” is the meaning in the Yagán language of the name of this park in Tierra del Fuego that was born thanks to the donation of more than 38 thousand hectares of the Yendegaia Foundation, led by Douglas and Kristine Tompkins, and the incorporation of more than 111 thousand hectares by the State. The Darwin Mountain Range and Lake Fagnano frame these pristine edge-of-the-world landscapes of unparalleled beauty.
Fauna
The Yendegaia National Park protects particularly threatened species such as the Culpeo Fox of Tierra del Fuego, the Huillín and the Canquén Colorado. It is also the habitat of 49 species of both terrestrial and marine birds, among which the Bandurria, the Pidén Austral, and Condor stand out, while in the forests it is usual to see Comesebos, Rayaditos, Cachañas and Magellanic Woodpeckers. The Guanaco is a common inhabitant of the pampas, like the Tucu. Two-haired sea lions, Chungungos, Toninas Overas, Minke Whales, Franco Austral, Orcas and Cachalote also inhabit the coasts of Yendegaia.
