Ushuaia

Straddling the Beagle Strait, Ushuaia is the largest city in Argentine Tierra del Fuego island, with about 75,000 residents (2019). It is 3,260 km south of Buenos Aires. It lays claim to the title "the southernmost city in the world". Puerto Williams, across the channel in Chile, also claims this title, but has only about 3,000 residents.

  3. Do Not mapped

    Parque del Tierra del Fuego

    Just go to the "bus station" (next to the Tourist Information office) and ask for a ticket (see getting around section on this page). Get out at the second stop (number one being the ticket office) and do the long seaside walk. Do not spend too much time there though, make sure you do it in three hours. Have a cup of coffee at the refuge and then head down to the Policia Nacional and do the round routes (route number 1, 3 and 6 are the best). Hop on the last bus at 19:00 (make sure you don't miss it or you will have to travel "a dedo" back to Ushuaia).
