[2025 Ushuaia Attraction] Travel Guide for Museo Maritimo de Ushuaia (Updated May)

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

#cityplaybook Begin at sunrise along Bahía Encerrada, where the mirror-still water reflects snow-capped peaks. Wander the waterfront, stopping at artisan stalls and the Museo Marítimo. Lunch on king crab at a tiny local spot—no rush. In the afternoon, take a book and find a quiet bench in Plaza Malvinas. Watch clouds roll in over jagged peaks. As the day fades, enjoy local craft beer at a pub filled with hikers and sailors trading stories. Let the cold night air remind you—you’re at the edge of the world.

🔹The Maritime and Prison Museum in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, was converted from an abandoned prison. 🔸The museum consists of 3 parts: the Maritime Museum, the Prison Museum, and the Art Museum, all of which are actually located in a huge prison. This prison is very unique. It is shaped like an octopus, with the middle as the center and 6 passages extending out. Each passage is a prison of about 4 or 5 square meters, with a small window of 10 square centimeters and some information about the Antarctic expedition team. In addition, there is a coffee shop and a souvenir gift shop. 🌟It is very worth visiting and buying. 📍Gobernador Paz y Yaganes Ex Presidio, V9410 Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina #Register for January Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 #Argentina #Ushuaia #Global Travel #Check-in
