Ushuaia
Travel Guide

Welcome to Ushuaia, also knowns as the City at the End of The World. It is, in fact, the earth’s southernmost city, and given its geographic location, it enjoys the wildness that you expect from the last stop in the world before you hit Antarctica. Ushuaia is situated on a bay that doubles as both a busy port and travel hub for those wishing to venture into the Tierra del Fuego National Park and out to the choppy seas, channels and straits beyond. Ushuaia lays claim to being the largest, and only, city on the island of Tierra del Fuego, or The Land of Fire in English, and is a jumble of maritime constructions, narrow steep streets and marinas. It sits at the foot of the Martial Mountain Range, and is the jumping off point for the famous Beagle Channel and that last stop before the Antarctic. Ushuaia is exposed to the elements, and it is many’s a traveler who has come here to take part in the adventure sports that abound in the area.
