Ushuaia,  Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina

Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego
Argentina

The port of Ushuaia is located in the Beagle Canal, on the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world, hence its nickname “end of the world”. It is surrounded by the Martial and Olivia Mountains.

It is important to use sunscreen and bring your sunglasses, as the sun could play tricks on you here. The temperature can be very changeful. Get ready for wind, rain and cold. Dress in a layer (one of which will be waterproof) to be comfortable, whatever the conditions. The sun shines for up to 18 hours a day during the southern summer. You will be dazzled by the glaciers, forests and sea that make up this enchanting landscape. A visit to Tierra del Fuego National Park will convince you.
