Ushuaia: The End of the World

Patagonia, in Argentina's south, is known for its beautiful landscapes, which include a dramatic mix of the Andes and large lengths of grasslands and plateaus. The majority of the experiences begin at Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city.

This town on Beagle Channel is surrounded by a unique landscape of mountains, sea, glaciers, and woods on the edge of the Tierra del Fuego National Park, with its spectacular scenery and diverse flora and fauna. It was founded as a penal colony in the early twentieth century and is now a popular jumping-off point for trips to Antarctica or around Cape Horn.

The San Juan de Salvamento Lighthouse, popularly known as the End of the World Lighthouse, was built in 1884 on the Isla de los Estados and is a popular tourist attraction. Exhibits about the region's natural history, aboriginal life, and early penal colonies can be found here. The Marine Museum of Ushuaia, which is housed in the town's infamous old military jail, is worth a visit for its many maritime artifacts and scale models of notable ships like Darwin's Beagle. The Beagle Channel, named after Darwin's ship, runs through the center of the national park, and you may take a boat ride through it from Ushuaia.
