Ushuaia Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Sea, mountain, valley, forest and lakes... La

If you are looking to connect with nature and the history of the southernmost city in the world, Tierra del Fuego National Park is the ideal place to do it. The park protects 68909 hectares and is the only one in Argentina that combines marine, forest and mountain environments giving shape to the sea coast, lakes, valleys, extensive peat bogs and magnificent forests dominated by lengas, guindos and ñires. All these environments form a unique scenery with the purest air you can breathe. This place encloses the history of the Yámanas, the first inhabitants of these lands. Paying attention, you can find mounds of mussels and mussels, remains of their food, known as "concheros" or shell middens (archeological sites) that remind us that these lands have been inhabited for more than 10,000 years. Here you will find exuberant and diverse landscapes, inhabited by birds such as the picturesque cauquén marino, the steamer duck or the black-browed albatross. As you walk along the trails it is normal to come across gray and red foxes, and to hear the "tac, tac, tac" of a woodpecker. i reccomend to you to trip with the train End of the World.

Traveling to Ushuaia, Argentina

Travel Guide to Ushuaia 2️⃣ (Part 1)||Travel Guide to Ushuaia 2️⃣ (Part 1) After arriving in Ushuaia, I walked into a hostel, booked two tours, and then randomly joined a city tour on the last day. These three tours almost covered everything around Ushuaia. The hostel's information is in pictures 2 & 3. This hostel was recommended by a fellow traveler, and after experiencing it, I truly think it offers great value for money! 1️⃣ Lakeside tour//pictures 4-6: This tour heads north from Ushuaia, following Route 3 all the way to Lago Fagnano. Route 3 is the last stretch of the Pan-American Highway, and along the way, you can see mountains and Lago Escondido, which is similar to our Heavenly Lake, nestled between valleys and only visible when the weather is good. The scenery is magnificent, and this tour is underrated in various guides, but I highly recommend it. It takes about 6 hours, departing at 3 pm and returning home by 9 pm. The price can be seen directly in the hostel's WhatsApp showcase. 2️⃣ Penguin boat tour//pictures 7-8: In this tour, we sailed along the border line towards the open sea, circled around Isla Gable and returned. It also took about six hours. Because of the distance, I saw whales and dolphins, which made me marvel at the wonders of the Earth once again. Actually, every travel agency offers boat tours, but the difference lies in how far they go, and the prices vary accordingly. Some agencies turn back after reaching the red and white lighthouse, but others go further. So, when booking a tour, make sure to ask how far they can go. 3️⃣ City tour//pictures 9-10: You can buy a ticket and board the bus opposite the tourist center in the square, and take a tour around the outskirts of Ushuaia. The scenery is similar to that of Western Sichuan and Tibet, and also reminiscent of the landscapes in 'Heidi'. As someone who loves to see the scenery, I was very satisfied. 4️⃣ Tierra del Fuego National Park: I didn't have time to visit, but I feel that the scenery is quite repetitive, and it might not be necessary to go. Moreover, my friend who went there said that the post office was temporarily closed, and I don't know if it's open now. So we went directly to the post office in the city to buy stamps and send postcards. 5️⃣ The city's post office can be found directly on Google Maps, or you can ask the shopkeepers; it's easy to locate. You can go there to send postcards. I had a funny mix-up when sending postcards; I was looking for glue until I realized that the back of the stamps becomes sticky once wet. The post office gentleman used his saliva to help me stick them, which was quite a shock to me. These three tours perfectly organized my two days in Ushuaia, and I highly recommend each one.

🇦🇷 Tierra del Fuego National Park, the place that made me fall in love with hiking completely!

💁‍♀️Foreword: In the beginning of 2023, my husband and I embarked on a 14-day journey to Argentina, with Ushuaia as our final destination. In Tierra del Fuego National Park, there is a post office at the world's farthest end, but what we can't forget is the 8.8-kilometer hike in the park that took us four and a half hours, not the post office or the postcards we sent from there. There are four hiking routes in the Fire Land Park. Based on duration, scenery, and experience, I highly recommend this 8-kilometer coastal hiking route (called Route 2 in the park). Along the way, you can see the surging waves of the sea and experience walking through the primitive forest full of feces. We were lucky enough to see a nest of baby eagles! Although we experienced strong winds and hail, if I come to Ushuaia again, I would still choose to embark on this route. 🕙Travel date: January 25th, departing at 9:00am and returning at 4:00pm. 🥾Travel mode: Independent travel 📍Location: Ushuaia Fire Land Park, guided by Google Maps. 💲Ticket purchase: No need to buy tickets in advance, you can buy them at the park entrance when you get off, I forgot the price... You can also pick up an English map when you buy it, which is convenient for finding your way later. 🚗Arrival method: 1. Take a bus from the tourist center, round-trip fare is 6000 pesos/person. There is a money-saving strategy: don't appear too anxious, there will be people selling last-minute tickets before departure, and you can get on the bus for about 4500 pesos. 2. Take a taxi directly to the destination. Taxis in Ushuaia use meters, and if you're unsure about the price, you can ask at the tourist center. If there are many people, taking a taxi may be more cost-effective~ 👀Tour route: 1. The bus will take you to the World's End Post Office, which is also the starting point of the No.2 hiking trail. After visiting the post office, you can start hiking. 2. There are yellow markers along the way as signs, so don't worry about getting lost. Just be careful to look for the yellow markers at forked roads and don't take the wrong path. 3. The endpoint of the hike is a bit confusing, as it overlaps with the road. Just follow the road ahead and you will see the sign for the visitor center. The shuttle bus pickup point for the return trip is located at the visitor center. ✅Suggestion: 1. It is recommended to wear windproof and waterproof clothes, pants and shoes, and bring a hat and gloves. The weather in Ushuaia changes quickly, and we encountered strong winds, heavy rain and hail during our hike. 2. Go light and bring a small amount of food and water supply. Although the journey is not far, it is not easy to walk, and you can take a break in the middle to replenish energy. 3. There is a lot of feces on the road, both from herbivores and carnivores (possibly foxes). Although we only encountered a nest of young eagles along the way, there are definitely many animals around. Don't panic if you encounter any, just ask the park staff in advance about the types of animals and prevention methods. 4. The driver who picks you up on the return trip may not be the same driver and car as the one who brought you here, so you can ask if your ticket is valid for their car when you see one (there are departures at 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm, but don't trust South Americans' sense of time, my husband and I didn't get on the bus until 3:30pm).

🇦🇷 Let's go see the world's farthest lighthouse!

💁‍♀️Foreword: In "Happy Together", there is a lighthouse that is very lonely and peaceful. People who have lost love come here to leave their unhappiness behind and start anew. This is the lighthouse at the end of the world, located in Ushuaia. In the beginning of 2023, my husband and I embarked on a 14-day journey to Argentina, with Ushuaia as the final destination. The lighthouse, of course, became a must-visit spot that we had been longing for. This trip, we have gained many beautiful sights. We are sharing our guide with everyone. If you are also planning to come, please feel free to check out this guide. Travel date: January 24th, 2023. Location: Ushuaia Method: Join the Beagle Channel Cruise Tour and take a cruise to Sea Lion Island, the farthest lighthouse, and Penguin Island (without landing). Price: Approximately 12,000 pesos per person. Duration: 3.5 hours (Small Loop Line) Suggestion: 1. Prepare motion sickness medicine, I was careless... 2. It's best to prepare rainproof jackets and pants for the mountains. There is a place where you can take a simple 20-minute hike for photos, but the weather in Ushuaia is very unpredictable, suddenly raining and suddenly stopping. We experienced a storm with strong winds and heavy rain during the hike, but fortunately we wore windbreakers and didn't suffer too much. 3. Choose a cruise from a big company, both quality and experience are guaranteed. If you don't know which one to choose, you can go to the local tourist center for inquiries. 4. If you still want to visit Penguin Island and have close contact with penguins, then this method is not suitable!

In Ushuaia want to see the lighthouse at the end of the world, this half-day tour is the best choice. Because the lighthouse is not bordered by land, it is necessary to take the boat out to sea. The summer has passed, and the original red, yellow and blue travel routes have been shortened to one red, but it is enough for me who just want to see the lighthouse. 1500 pesos a person, 3 and a half hours, take you around a large circle at sea, halfway in the middle of a small island for half an hour. It is recommended to board the deck directly after boarding, and to the right, because the scenery on the right will look better than the left side. There are many reefs on the sea, and groups of penguins and sea lions lay lazily on the sun. The boat will be parked close to the reef, making it easy for tourists to take pictures and observe. The lighthouse is also built on a reef, surrounded by densely packed penguins. At this time, the boat will stay here for about ten minutes, blowing the sea breeze, listening to the sound of seagulls and penguins, thinking that you are at the end of the world, then It feels really wonderful.

In September 2017, I finally came to the end of the world. This is the last lighthouse in the south of South America. It is the South Pole in the past. Suddenly I want to go home, although I am far away from them, but at the moment. My feeling is very close. If Shanghai is the opposite of China, the time difference is 11 hours, the season is just the opposite. The distance between the two points is 20,000 kilometers, which is equal to the half circle of the earth. That is to say, if it is not in the sky, with China as the coordinate, Argentina is the place of life. The farthest place you can go to; that is to say, when you want to go back to Argentina, every step you take is the way home.

After a long flight of more than 30 hours of total voyage, cross the date line and return to the old days. The small South American city of Ushuaia at the end of the world is the southernmost city in the world. It sails here and crosses the Drake Strait. It takes only two days in a week compared to other places. Arrived at the South Pole. Therefore, Ushuaia is an ideal starting and refueling base, making it the southernmost settlement in the world. Ushuaia is small and exquisite, with all kinds of flowers everywhere, small and lovely little houses, and the green-skin train that has been given historical memory, like the residence of every hero in the fairy tale, the quietness that can't be said, The endless chic. At this time, in the summer of the southern hemisphere, the birds sing freely in the branches, and when the flowers bloom in the most sloppy time, the breeze is blowing, and the ink is heavy. Just when the cold air drifts by chance with the breeze, when you raise your eyes to the icebergs that are far away, this strong summer atmosphere is dyed with a trace of meaning that is inside. .

Sitting on the southernmost train of the earth, I experienced the spring, summer, autumn and winter. After a while, it was raining for a while and the sun was shining. I went back to the city and started to blizzard []. What can I do? I am very helpless. There was also a strong wind in the afternoon, and the windy one stopped the boat I ordered, so I had to go out to sea tomorrow. Good morning! I have to go to bed again, the time difference is thirteen hours. Good night
