About Ushuaia
The southernmost town in the world, Ushuaia sits at the edge of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina´s "land of fire," so named because of the fires lit by Indians to warn of the arrival of Magellan´s ship. Surrounded by a countryside of snowcapped mountains, dense forest, rivers and waterfalls, the town has a rugged, frontier spirit. Nearby Tierran del Fuego National Park is a wildlife sanctuary.
Ushuaia Attractions
Savor the spectacular beauty of Tierra del Fuego’s lakes, lush forests, flora and fauna and soaring mountains by train, 4-wheel drive, on horseback, or on an off-road forest trek. Enjoy the expansive views from Garibaldi Pass and watch for sea lions and albatross along the Beagle Channel.
The Drake Passage is the body of water between the southern tip of South America at Cape Horn, Chile and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It connects the southwestern part of the Atlantic Ocean (Scotia Sea) with the southeastern part of the Pacific Ocean and extends into the Southern Ocean. It is named after 16th century English privateer Sir Francis Drake, although he never sailed the Passage, opting instead for the less turbulent Strait of Magellan.
