Timeline
17:42
Take the scenic train ride through the Tierra del Fuego National Park. The 45-minute journey offers a glimpse into the region’s logging history, though the views are limited. Arrive early to secure a seat and enjoy the audioguide as the train moves through the landscape in the fading afternoon light.
18:42
Watch the sunset from the train or just outside the station as the sun dips toward the WNW. The golden light fades quickly in winter, so this is the peak moment for photography and soaking in the atmosphere of the 'end of the world'.
19:12
After the train returns, head back toward town. Check the route for the best path to local dining options. The evening is just beginning, and the cold air will make you eager for warmth and good food.
19:27
Find a local restaurant for dinner. With the sun down, the focus shifts to hearty Patagonian cuisine and conversation. This is the perfect time to enjoy a meal while reflecting on the day's journey.
19:57
End the evening with a drink at a nearby bar. The night is young, and a warm drink is the best way to cap off an evening at the southernmost tip of the continent.
Local tip
