Ushuaia Tourist Information:
Ushuaia, the hub of tourism in Tierra del Fuego, lies in the far south of the island. Dramatically located between the mountains and the sea, the town tumbles down the hillside to the wide, encircling arm of land that protects its bay from the southwesterly winds and occasional thrashing storms of the icy Beagle Canal. There you will find the End of the World Museum and the Maritime Museum. 12 km to the west there is the Tierra del Fuego National Park. You may also go to the Harberton "Estancia", or visit the lakes Fagnano and Escondido, or get the End of the World Steam Train, which make the same trail as the former prisoners who worked in that places. If you like trekking or mountain bike excursions, Ushuaia is an excellent place to stay.
You cannot miss going to the End of the World Museum (with a great historical-cultural collection), the Ex- Military Prison (where the Marine Museum works), and the End of the Word. Also, a tour to Escondido Lake, surrounded by an astonishing natural scenery, and the sailing to End of the World Lighthouse (famous for Julio Verne´s book), are worthy. These tours will give you the chance to see a
varied animal life, such as penguins, sea lions, etc.
Ushuaia’s unexplored territories invite you to explore and adventure. We will see the city, Tierra del Fuego National Park with its typical flora and fauna, and the lakes Escondido and Fagnano.
