Ushuaia is one of the main entrances to the Antarctic continent. It is only more than 900 kilometers across the Drake Strait and is also the closest city to the Antarctic continent. This time, I bought a great value ticket for the Antarctic Islands through the "Let's go to Antarctic" travel agency. I was lucky to have upgraded from the originally booked triple room to the single room. I also met many small people during this trip. Partners, leave a beautiful memory of traveling to Antarctica together; Ushuaia is known as a small town at the end of the world. In addition to the well-known Tierra Tierra National Park, there is also the "Marine and Prison Museum" that is worth visiting. This prison was established by the early colonial government to exile criminals to the end of the world to open up wastelands. Since 1902 AD, prisoners have built the prison body by themselves. The original plan was 4 0 prison cells, until 1920 AD, a total of 380 prison cells were built. During its heyday, more than 600 criminals were held, most of whom were life-long prisoners. They came here to engage in various labor work. There is still a section of about seven kilometers of trains in Tierra del Fuego National Park (now run by the Southern Railway Company for sightseeing purposes), which was also paved by these criminals. , Deforestation of forest wood was used to build the main roads, buildings and bridges in the town of Ushuhuaia; at that time, those criminals came to this cold and isolated land. Even if they escaped from prison, if no one responded, they would definitely die of death on the way; there was a river in Tierra del Fuego, which was named after the escape from prison and was found to die of death on the bank of the river. The name is very meaningful. I highly recommend that you must arrange a visit in Ushuaia! #Ushuaia #Maritime and Prison Museum #ushuaia #Museo Marítimo y del Presidio de Ushuaia

A beginner friendly place to trek, one could easily kill half a day here at Laguna Esmeralda located in Tierra del Fuego National park. There are public shuttles to Laguna Esmeralda, round trip cost 3500ARS as of Dec 22. Earliest shuttle departing at 10am hourly and last shuttle leaves from the parking lot at the trailhead at 5pm. The trail itself is well marked and you will not get lost even if you’re by yourself as it’s pretty straightforward. It takes around 1 hour to get to the lake from the parking lot, the only challenging part is probably the end of the trail which was a bit steeper but easily doable. The views along the way is amazing, and once at the lake you can sit down to have your picnic and enjoy the serene landscape. Suggest to bring some bites and have hiking shoes as some places can be muddy! #awesomepic #argentina #ushuaia

If you are looking to connect with nature and the history of the southernmost city in the world, Tierra del Fuego National Park is the ideal place to do it. The park protects 68909 hectares and is the only one in Argentina that combines marine, forest and mountain environments giving shape to the sea coast, lakes, valleys, extensive peat bogs and magnificent forests dominated by lengas, guindos and ñires. All these environments form a unique scenery with the purest air you can breathe. This place encloses the history of the Yámanas, the first inhabitants of these lands. Paying attention, you can find mounds of mussels and mussels, remains of their food, known as "concheros" or shell middens (archeological sites) that remind us that these lands have been inhabited for more than 10,000 years. Here you will find exuberant and diverse landscapes, inhabited by birds such as the picturesque cauquén marino, the steamer duck or the black-browed albatross. As you walk along the trails it is normal to come across gray and red foxes, and to hear the "tac, tac, tac" of a woodpecker. i reccomend to you to trip with the train End of the World.

Ushuaia, the lighthouse at the end of the world is a place I visited during the most difficult time of my life. There was no way that a model answer would come out of going to the end of the world, but in Spanish, it's Fin del mundo. It was a good place to find new hope in this desolate place called the end of the world. The lighthouse at the end of the world that Leslie Cheung wanted to go to on Happy Together and the Beagle Channel tour where you can see penguins are a must-do... In particular, this place was great because you could eat king crab for about 20,000 won per crab, which is cheaper and tastier than Vladivostok. I don't know about the exchange rate in Argentina these days, but it's much cheaper to steam live king crab than in Russia, and the frozen crab that the locals usually eat instead of the live one was also very delicious. The restaurant I recommend is 'El Viejo Marino', a restaurant that made my daily dinner party of Argentine beef sirloin. The address is Av. Maipú 227, V9410BJE Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina #HotPlace#RestaurantExploration#CityTrip#VacationTravel#LifeShotPlace

Ushuaia is the southernmost city in Argentina. From there departs a train with a romantic name: End of the World (Tren del Fin del Mundo).
