Ushuaia Tours & Cruises

Visit the End of the World

Typically, Ushuaia tours include a visit to the scenic harbor and a few museums, a train ride through the Tierra del Fuego National Park, and a cruise along the Beagle Channel to Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse. Board on The End of the World Train, that once linked the prison camp with the forestry camp, to discover more of this beautiful region from a steam train. Stay at Estancia Harberton, one of the oldest ranches of Tierra del Fuego and take a boat to Martillo Island to observe a colony of nesting Penguins. Ushuaia is also the port city for cruises around Patagonia between Buenos Aires and Santiago, and also is the jumping-off point for Antarctica.

It’s easy to spend a couple days enjoying activities and scenery around Ushuaia, or you could extend your trip by also visiting the Lapataia Bay, Laguna Verde, Roca Lake, and go on a whale watching cruise. You could also spend extra time in the Tierra del Fuego National Park, where you can roam among the stunted, windswept Magellenic forests, looking for birds and wildlife.

The easiest way to get to Ushuaia is by flight from Buenos Aires, El Calafate, or a few other major cities in Argentina. It’s also common to start Ushuaia tours by docking at the port on a Patagonia Cruise. Or many people will travel to Ushuaia simply to begin their Antarctica cruise, which departs from Ushuaia’s port.
