Why Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego?
Set off from the world’s southern-most city, along the world’s southern-most highway to the Land of Fire (Tierra del Fuego), 63 square miles of untouched forests, mountains, glaciers and lakes. See wildlife akin to that found in Antarctica such as the massive southern elephant seals that can weigh in at several thousand kilograms or the agile and acrobatic Commerson’s dolphins with their unusual black and white markings.
Ushuaia’s coastal location is impressive and its proximity to thick sub-antarctic forests, pristine azure lakes and snow capped mountains encourages visitors who arrive by sea, air or road to enjoy its vibrant centre and untouched territories including the Tierra del Fuego National Park and the mythical Beagle Channel.
Fact: Ushuaia is often referred to as the southernmost city in the world however this title can be disputed depending on how ‘city’ and ‘southernmost’ are defined. Some argue that Puerto Williams in Chile is further south and should take the title. Nevertheless, Ushuaia is widely recognized as the southernmost city with a significant population and infrastructure.
