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).

Price: General admission AR$40,000; national residents AR$18,000; provincial residents AR$8,000; students AR$12,000 (Jun 2026)

Laguna Esmeralda
It's a short but muddy hike from the highway through peat bogs to get there, but the stunning lake is worth it. The colour of the water changes with the time of day. Try to be there before noon, which is when the majority of tourists start pouring in.
