Tierra del Fuego is a dramatic location and a brilliant place to stay before you make your way to the great white continent of Antarctica.
Strategically located between the towering Andes and the frigid waters of the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia is a jumping off point for sailings to the frozen wonders of Antarctica as well as a base for hiking in the dense forests and along the bays and inlets of the Tierra del Fuego. Its colourful houses cling to the hillsides, standing firm above the icy shores.
With fantastic seabird-watching opportunities, including grebes, oystercatchers, and albatross, and exceptional outdoor activities, there’s plenty to keep you entertained in Ushuaia. Or simply sit back in front of a roaring fire and watch the icy waters in comfort.
