This region was shaped by the great sheep farming estancias of the early 20th century. Large properties stretched across huge parts of the island, connected only by rough tracks, horses and the hard work of the people living here. Even today you still find traces of that history in abandoned fences, old shearing sheds and forgotten machinery slowly disappearing into the landscape.

Long before the arrival of the estancias, these lands belonged to the Selk’nam people, who moved across the island following the seasons and the guanacos. Their connection to nature and understanding of this environment still feels present in the silence and openness of the steppe.

Cabo San Pablo also became known for its maritime history. The Atlantic coast here is beautiful but unforgiving, with strong winds, currents and rapidly changing weather. The Desdémona shipwreck resting on the beach below the lighthouse became one of the best-known symbols of this coastline.

Today, very few travelers reach this part of Tierra del Fuego. That is exactly what makes it so special. It remains a place of wide landscapes, empty beaches, strong winds and a feeling of freedom that is becoming harder to find elsewhere.
