En 1991 nace en Ushuaia Tierra del Fuego NUNATAK ADVENTURE, una empresa cuyo fin es el de acercar a sus visitantes al magnífico patrimonio natural, mediante un producto diferente el contacto con la naturaleza Patagónica.
Desde nuestra constitución, el Trekking ha sido la actividad que más hemos potenciado conjuntamente con el esquí de fondo. A esto le fuimos agregando nuevas y atrapantes actividades como Off Road 4x4, canotaje, kayaking, mountain bike, avistaje de fauna y flora.
En invierno ofrecemos una multitud de aventuras emocionantes, las principales experiencias para compartir son: paseos con trineos de perros tirados por huskies, paseos en moto de nieve, trekking con raquetas de nieve y Off Road 4x4.
