Timeline
18:37
Grab a coffee or a hot sandwich at Tante Sara. It is a popular two-floor café that stays open until 21:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Since sunset is at 20:15, this is the perfect time to warm up before heading out.
18:45
Walk to Kaupé for dinner. The restaurant is open from 18:30 to 23:00. Order the king crab and enjoy the spectacular view while the sky is still bright enough to see the details of the landscape.
20:04
Head to Plaza Islas Malvinas. It is a 17-minute walk from the museum area. Position yourself to face the WSW. The sun sets toward the WSW on this date, so you will catch the final moments of golden light as it dips below the horizon.
20:35
End the evening at Bar Ideal. It is an Irish pub located just a 2-minute walk from the anchor. It is open until midnight, giving you a quiet place to reflect on the day and the long, dark nights of Tierra del Fuego.
Local tip
