They build dams and inundate the area creating lakes


Beavers use their powerful teeth to knock down trees.

Engineers of Nature: The Beaver Expedition

During the 20th century, various pairs of beavers were brought from Canada to try to develop the local fur industry in Ushuaia.
The results were unexpected and our furry friends did nothing but get along with each other extremely well and reproduce on a large scale. Naturally, beavers built their dams in the middle of the lakes that they themselves had created, thus changing the landscape beyond all
recognition.

This tour takes place in the evening because beavers sleep during the day. We will access the natural habitat of beavers through challenging mud tracks and beautiful Ends of the Earth landscapes.

In this exciting experience you will learn about these fascinating "engineers of nature" which skillfully build dams, lakes, shelters, knocking out trees with their powerful teeth.
Then, you will enjoy a delicious meal beneath an impressive sunset.
