Hello everyone and welcome to ushuaia Argentina today we are going to take a trip again and
this time we are going to visit the southernmost city in the world located in the province of Tierra del
Fuego Argentina this was the last stop of our trip through Patagonia and in this
video we want to share some things that you can see and do in ushuaia together
we are going to navigate the canal i say travel on board the train to the end of the world send a
postcard from the southernmost post office tour an old jail converted into a museum
explore the city on a double-decker bus and much much more so we invite you to
come with us and together we are going to visit ushuaia and hello friends, welcome
we are samuel and audrey from ushuaia Tierra del Fuego Argentina here we are welcome
to Ushuaia Tierra del Fuego this afternoon we go We are going to be doing a small excursion through the
Vigo channel so we are going to take you for a walk, a plan we are going to see penguins and visit the lighthouse
at the end of the world like this It is going to be a very fun afternoon and we are going to take you for a walk,
let's go ok now let's talk about the price so we are doing the classic excursion
this is the most popular and you can book it anywhere in the city all the
operators have this excursion this tour then we are doing the one that takes us to
see sea lions the lighthouse and penguins and the price for this tour is 67 American dollars
per person and it is a 4 hour excursion there are shorter excursions I think there is
one of two hours that gives around the lighthouse at the end of the world and there is also another that has the
option of ending in the harberton ranch but that costs a little more we booked
this tour with a canoe canoeist they have a lemon green house here in the port
and we are going to see that ok Now we are going to get on the boat and we are going to navigate the canal alive
and
the excursion through the canal I say is a good opportunity to see wildlife within a few
minutes of leaving the port n We found you with cormorants by the thousands and a few moments
later we reached some small rocky islands where the sea lions were sunbathing
and further
on we continued to the lighthouse at the end of the world whose real name is lanterns I declare this
lighthouse measures 11 meters high is Painted red and white and is still in operation although it
is controlled remotely technically this is not the lighthouse at the end of the world that inspired the
novel by jules verne but thanks to its proximity to ushuaia Argentina it became known as the lighthouse at
the end of the world the true lighthouse of the end of the world is the lighthouse of san juan 'of rescue that
is to the northeast of the islands of the states but so far we did not arrive
and why
and finally we saw penguins in hammer island I warn you in advance that no All tour
operators have permission to disembark and visit the penguin colony so in
our case we admire them from the boat and as a last tip do not forget to t scratch
the passport because during this excursion one can obtain the seal of the canal alive
or not
another excursion that we decided to do in ushuaia was a ride
in a double-decker bus this was a good way to tour the city and
know some places where we would not have arrived old
during the tour we learned a little more about the history
of Argentina ushuaia hear all kinds of stories and enjoyed some tango music
first stop on this tour we're doing is the lagoon of the [__] and
has that name because it For a long time during the winter months the animals
used to disappear near this lagoon and well some people thought that the
[__] was taking their animals but in reality the animals were
breaking the ice they were falling into the lagoon and never found them again
one of the stops we made was at the ushuaia aeroclub for us this
was a brief stop to visit this Argentine navy plane ina and enjoy
the views of the city from the viewpoint but I also comment that the aeroclub
offers tourist flights of 15, 30 and 60 minutes at quite affordable prices
one of the main tourist spots in ushuaia is the jail at the end of the world this
is due to which was founded as a penal colony and the first prisoners arrived in 1884 the
prison was in operation between 1902 and 1947 and was one of the most feared prisons due to
its harsh conditions today the prison has become a tourist site and houses
several museums The five pavilions converge in a central room and each wing houses a different
museum, these include the presidio museum that focuses on the stories of the most well-known
prisoners, the maritime museum, where you can see models of boats that sailed the
waters to the end of the world. the antarctic museum that highlights the era of exploration and scientific
expeditions the museum of marine art exhibits a collection of art dating from the late s iglo
19 to the present and the art gallery where local artists can exhibit and sell their works
another place that we recommend visiting in ushuaia is the thematic gallery of fueguine history this
is a museum with dioramas and figures that show the history of the province of Tierra del Fuego
the visit is done with an audio guide, which we thought was a very good idea since each person
can go at their own pace.The tour begins with the history of the native peoples that
lived in this area and includes those of manas who were hunter-gatherers and
Coastal fishermen known for their canoe building skills the Selk'nam who were
nomadic guanaco hunters and renowned for their use of the bow and arrow and the hawks
who are the least known of the three groups and lived throughout the marine coast in an area
covered by peat bogs the museum also covers the exploration and colonization of Tierra del
Fuego and there are sections on the fan more vigo the beginnings of e ushuaia as a penal colony and the
icebreaker ship in ramstein this thing we really liked our visit and we found the museum very
educational so we recommend them and if you have the time to listen to the audio guide even better
and since we are talking about museums we want to mention you yet another the
end of the world museum has two venues one focuses on local history and has
exhibits on wildlife and shipwrecks and the other is located in the former
government and legislature house where there is also a small botanical garden
And now let's talk about food in Ushuaia and we are going to have another video about cooking at the
end of the world, so we are not going to repeat much but one of our favorite meals was
sitting at the disk in Isabel, this is a dish that cannot be missed if They come to the south of the country
another of our favorite foods was the pasta and the risotto in quart 1900 they are very tried the
ravioli with squid ink stuffed with salmon in a quat sauce Ro cheeses and two in
risotto with spider crab, both dishes were excellent, even very nice restaurants
and we also ate a delicious snack in the old wolf's tavern which
is known as the southernmost tavern in the world
here and another thing we recommend to do is walk around the waterfront here one can see
all kinds of boats in the port even cruises departing for Antarctica one of the
most famous boats and one can observe those five starter once known as the most settings ax
this was a ship of the British royal navy that was assigned as a rescue tug
and served in the normandy landings during world war ii after the war the
ship was sold and named without christopher and was chartered for salvage operations in the said
canal after suffering engine problems and damage to the rudder I was stopped and abandoned on the
coast of ushuaia today it is considered a tourist attraction although it is not allowed to go up to On board
is continuing along the waterfront is the sign of the city of ushuaia this is another
tourist point and a mandatory stop to take photos at the end of the world

ah
well
of course during our stay in ushuaia Tierra del Fuego we also visited
the national park Tierra del Fuego this is a very easy excursion to organize since
the park is located only 12 km west of the city the national park consists of Magellanic
forest and a spectacular landscape formed by lakes, valleys and peatlands one of our
favorite walks was the coastal path that follows the shores of the beagle channel they
know that this path I am finding it quite easy after the walks we
did in el chaltén this does not have as much elevation and something that we liked about this
path is that there are many plants so it cannot stop to rest eat a picnic and enjoy the
scenery it has been a nice day so far so we continue exactly how long it took us to
spend d The days trekking in Tierra del Fuego National Park and the second day we
focus on La Patada Bay, which is the only Argentine fjord of the living channel, here there are
six mini trails that are between 400 meters and 2 km long, they are very short walks easy
to combine so this part of the park is a good option for those who are short
of time as a tip the weather at the end of the world changes very suddenly so it is a
good idea to dress in gear layers that are waterproof and wind break and Appropriate footwear
Another place not to be missed in Tierra del Fuego National Park is the Post Office at the End
of the World This small post office is located on a pier on the banks of the Vigo canal
and is the last chance to send mail before arriving in Antarctica of course
we had to send a postcard to Canada it took almost a month but it got home and again do
n't forget to bring your passport because here you can also ask for a zero yy m Iren this
will have the postman to the world unity Postal end of the world
island round channel Vigo mail so the penguin world Argentina
now let 's talk about another popular excursion that you can do in ushuaia
a trip aboard the fuji Southern Railway not also known as the end of the world
train at one time this railway was known as the prisoners' train as we mentioned
earlier in the video ushuaia had its origins as a penal colony and the prisoners
were put to work in the construction of their own prison this required wood so
the railway was extended as the wood in the vicinity was depleted this
wood was then transported by train and used as construction material
and also for cooking and heating the prison nowadays the railway operates like
a tourist train and the ride is done with an audio guide so it is a good opportunity
to learn more about the history of the train and the prisoners that They made this tour daily
and finally another place that is worth visiting stoll wind this is a small
town located an hour and a half away from ushuaia Argentina and one can easily go
to spend the day or stay a few days to enjoy the place if they visit they have to
go through the bakery the union approve the empanadas invoices and the
artisan chocolates you eat very well there apart from that dolphin is a very quiet place with some
trails a beautiful lake and there are several cabins and inns where to stay we spent
some nights there but you can rent a car you can go for the day or you can also get there by bus
and that is our travel guide to ushuaia argentina we hope you have enjoyed
