- Hello and greetings from Ushuaia, Argentina where we'll cover the top things to do in this Ushuaia travel guide from this fascinating city at the end of the world! Today we’re going to be visiting the southernmost city in the world, located in the province of Tierra del Fuego at the very bottom of Argentina.
This was the final stop of our massive trip across Patagonia and we’ll be sharing some of the best things to do in Ushuaia during your visit. Join us as we cruise the Beagle Channel, ride the train to the end of the world, send a postcard from the southernmost post office, tour a former prison-turned museum, explore the city via double-decker bus, and more!
The following is our Ushuaia travel guide! We hope this video gives you a few ideas of the many tours, attractions and experiences you can enjoy here!
🇦🇷 Things to do in Ushuaia, Argentina 🇦🇷
1) Cruise the Beagle Channel
This is a great opportunity to see some wildlife like cormorants, penguins and sea lions! Bring your passport on the cruise because you can get a Beagle Channel stamp.
2) See the Lighthouse and End of the World
Often attributed as Jules Verne's lighthouse at the end of the world, this lighthouse's real name is Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse.
3) Admire the Penguins on Hammer Island
Not all tour operators are allowed to disembark at the penguin rookery, so in our case, we just admired them from the boat!
4) Go on a Double-Decker Bus Tour of Ushuaia
Picture an old-fashioned double-decker bus painted bright blue, and then get ready to be transported back through time as you set step aboard. Over the course of the tour you’ll get to learn about Ushuaia’s history and hear fun anecdotes, with a bit of tango music in between.
5) Visit the Prison at the End of the World
Ushuaia was founded as a penal colony and this prison was in operation between 1902 to 1947. Today, it houses multiple museums including the Prison Museum, the Maritime Museum, the Antarctic Museum, the Art Museum, and the Art Gallery.
6) Tour the Themed Gallery of Fuegian History
This is a museum featuring dioramas and lifelike figures that showcase the history of the province of Tierra del Fuego. The visit is done as a self-guided tour with an audio guide, so you can go at your own pace.
7) Visit the End of the World Museum
This museum deals with local history and natural history. The displays here focus on local wildlife and shipwreck remains.
8) Visit the Former Government House + Botanical Garden
Set in the former Government House, this museum has a couple of displays relating to its history, as well as a small botanical garden.
9) Sample the Local Cuisine
Ushuaia has lots of unique seafood dishes and the thing to try is the king crab!
10) Go on a Walk along the Harbour
Another thing we’d recommend doing in Ushuaia is walking along the Costanera, which is the boardwalk along the waterfront. You can see all sorts of vessels in the harbour, including cruises departing for Antarctica.
11) See the Saint Christopher
Once known as the HMS Justice, this was a Royal Navy ship classified as a rescue tug and it served at the Normandy landings during World War 2. After the war, the ship was sold and renamed Saint Christopher, where it was chartered for salvage operations in Beagle Channel.
12) Take a photo at the Ushuaia City Sign
This is an iconic photo-op to show you made it to the end of the world.
13) Hike in Tierra del Fuego National Park
This is a very easy day trip from Ushuaia seeing as the park is located just 12 kilometres west of the city. This park consists of subantarctic forest and boasts some dramatic landscapes featuring snow-capped mountains, forests, lagoons and pebbly coves. One of our favourite hikes was Senda Costera, which is the coastal trail along the Beagle Channel.
14) Visit Lapataia Bay
This part of the national park features 6 mini trails that are between 400 meters and 2 kilometres in length. They are very short hikes and easy.
15) Send mail from the Southernmost Post Office
This tiny post office sits atop a pier on the shores of the Beagle Channel and it’s the last chance to send mail before reaching Antarctica.
16) Ride the Train at the End of the World
Once upon a time, this was known as the train of prisoners, but today, the train has been developed into a heritage train and it’s considered the southernmost functioning railway in the world.
17) Take a Day trip to Tolhuin
This is a small town located an hour and a half away from Ushuaia. The main draw to this town is its famous bakery, where you can enjoy all sorts of pastries, empanadas, and even artisanal chocolates. Aside from that, there is a beautiful lake and a few hiking trails.
That concludes our Ushuaia travel guide! We hope you enjoyed getting to see the southernmost city in the world. Ushuaia has plenty of unique attractions and fun excursions to offer visitors; it’s well worth adding to your Argentina itinerary if you’re planning to travel in Patagonia!

Ushuaia is one of Argentina's top destinations, and for good reason. This beautiful city, perched dramatically between the Martial mountains, the bay and the Beagle Channel, is popular for its sheer beauty, spectacular marine wildlife, and for its acclaim as the city at the End of the World
i spent 5 months there working...
What an experience!
Completely agree!
Just copy
My Dad is from Argentina and I’ve been there 2 time and the culture and foods are so good and very cheap and great site to visit
That is great to hear! Where did you go together?
Ya. The food looked like home cooking❗️And, needless to say....Fresh seafood....And delicious❗️
Cheaper and cheaper,great investment
The southernmost point of Argentina is so much more hospitable than the northernmost point of coastal Canada and the United states. Cheers guys, we also say Katamaran in Dalmatia.
What an amazing places 🥰
Ushuaia is pretty spectacular! We'd love to go back and experience it in autumn and winter. 😊
The most beautiful thing I saw today, thank you with all my heart 🤍🌼
Thank you so much!
Lindo video. Fui en invierno de 2016. Recuerdo que fui a ver el glaciar Martial, hice una solitaria caminata ascendiendo a un cerro boscoso en el parque nacional, hice el tour acuático por el canal Beagle, recorrí casi toda la ciudad a pie y fui a esquiar al cerro Castor. Hermoso.
Muchas gracias Diego!
We first discovered Ushuaia on the tv show ‘Race across the world’ (very sad that covid put the kybosh on that!!). What incredible scenery and the nature you saw was incredible. What an incredible trip! Greetings from Wales x
Que lindo , gracias a ustedes conocemos parte de nuestro país y de paso practican en mi casa el idioma extranjero, no es que tengamos pensado viajar al exterior , sino que es bueno saber otro idioma. Saludos a su padre Daniel y a su mamá.
Éxitos chicos !!!
Gracias Luna. Nos alegra que puedan practicar el idioma con estos videos. Saludos a la familia! 😊

Hey guys!! Nice to see you again!!
You should do a ranking about the most tasty food: Asían, sudamerican or European.
Ooo, it would be so hard to choose!!! But I mean, just off the top of my head I'm thinking Korean, Peruvian, and Italian are some of our favourites. 😋🍜
Nice video guys!! Very scenic as usual!!
Thank you very much Peter!
😥😥😥 se terminó el viaje por la Patagonia... Gracias chicos, disfruté mucho estos videos!

ARGENTINIEN ÜBER ALLES
Enjoyed your video. Our time spent in the Park and in Ushuaia was wonderful.
We're so happy to hear that! Glad you enjoyed your time in Ushuaia. 😊
Always love your recommendation Audrey & Sam. Going to Ushuaia in Jan 2023 for a cruise to Antartica but going to take all your recommendations for things to do/see while waiting for the cruise to get underway. Thanks xoxo
That's awesome, Leslie! Wishing you a wonderful trip to Ushuaia and Antarctica!!! 😊
Some thing many travelers don't mention is Cerro Castor, wich is a professional ski slope. Is very famous for being used by European snow sports men and women for training during the summer time in Europe
Thanks to the travel guide, as a Hong Kong people I almost cross the whole planet coming to visit Ushuaia and your travel suggestions are really helpful.
Thank you very much. Wishing you a wonderful trip to Ushuaia!
Very, very informative 👏 video.
Professional and looks like a T. V. Special❗️
Thanks for sharing your excursion.
Thanks for watching, Brandon! Ushuaia is a cool little spot.
You guys are #CoupleFood&TravelGoals!!
Hermosos paisajes, algún día me gustaría ir allá. por cierto he visto flamear la bandera de mi país en el minuto 11:05 (Perú) quedé sorprendido.
saludos desde Lima - Perú.
Ese es el monumento q recuerda la guerra de Malvinas, la bandera de Perú flamea en ese lugar el agradecimiento a la ayuda peruana en la guerra.
hey guys I live in India Very amazing place in Argentina , i am excited about this Argentina place visit and see and enjoy UshUaia. And I request you to visit in my country India and see wonderful place tajmahal and Hindus culture.🙏🙏

Thank you, Fam! Excellent work.
Quiero conocer Ushuaia unos de los lugares de Argentina que todavía no conozco, muy buen video
So nice and clean 😊
Once again, intresting to see that they in Argentina seems to like Lupine flowers wery mutch.....in at least Euroupe it is as see as a very dangerus weed invasive etc.etc!? Well one of your travel gole was reached! Wonder wat your next travel will show us!🕊
Oh, yes, the lupine flowers can be seen across Patagonia - especially in areas close to the Andes as opposed to the steppe. They're quite beautiful!
Hi!
Lupines adapted very well to our cold weather. It was introduced and sometimes can grow in places where it shouldn't, like in the National Park or some close Islands. In those cases we regret introducing that species.
The same happens whith beavers, brought from Canada. There's no predators of the beavers, like in Canada, and now We are losing big extensions of forests drowned on dams.
¡Saludos!
its been awhile since we saw your videos. this format is nice to see the sites and sounds.
Thank you very much!
The lighthouse located in the islands of the Beagle channel is not the lighthouse at the end of the world. The famous lighthouse is located outside the channel on the Isla de Los Estados and its name is San Juan de Salvamento
Thanks for letting us know.
I'm heading there in a few months and this video was VERY helpful. Thank you!
One most beautiful country in the world ❤️🇦🇨 I love Argentina
We think so too! 😊
IT IS THE MOST BANKRUPT AND USELESS COUNTRY IN THE GLOBE.
Thanks my Southern hemisphere brother, your country its beautiful aswell 🥰
Vancouver Grizzlies hat! My man!
Amigossss!!!, Plinio me ganó como siempre…estaba comprando en el Súper, pero ya lista para acompañarlos en este nuevo y bello recorrido. Somos Luisa, Plinio y Plinito desde Talcahuano, Chile!!
Jeje, Plinios es rápido! Saludos Luisa. Que pasen un lindo fin de semana. 😊
Great guide. I was camped out near the Rio Olivia and didn't visit all those attractions - although I did ride out to the National Park to get to the end of Ruta 3. Your video filled in the gaps :)
Thank you very much! Great to hear about your camping experiences!

I was looking at a map and I saw Ushuaia and I looked at images of the city and now I wanna go
That is great to hear!

Good view
Hermosa mi ciudad USHUAIA EL FIN DEL MUNDO Y EL PRINCIPIO DE AMÉRICA.
This was a beautiful video thanks for your efforts. The only reason I'm here is because I was watching a Mark Knopfler video of a song called If This Is Goodbye and a person left the comment that they loved the song and they were from that town which was at the bottom of the world and made me want to look it up and it's beautiful. 👍✌
Happy you found us. The city at the end of the world is a pretty magical place!
@@samuelandaudrey I'm subbed. Safe Travels. ✌
Wonderful video, I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you! Will definitely stay on your channel :)
Thank you for a wonderful video. Can you please tell us the name of the town with the big bakery and the guest house you stayed in there. Thanks again.
Todo Audrey es una Historia ! ^^
Muchas gracias!
@@samuelandaudrey de nada !... if you replace audrey with hombre its a song by Juanes ... maybe you heard of it ...
Great video!! Helps a lot with planning!!
Just left with 2 questions
How many days?
Was thar in January?
Thanks for nice Info.
I'm planning to travel there is year in August September... what type of clothing would you suggest.... would it be raining or too cold... thank you in advance 🙂
11:04 La bandera de Perú en Ushuaia!!!!! Tengo que visitar DEFINITIVAMENTE!!!!
😊🇵🇪✨
Viva El Perú!!!!
🇦🇷🇵🇪
Y si pa ! los bancamos a los peruanos!! Nos dieron una mano contra los traidores y eso no se olvida!🇦🇷🇵🇪
So so interesting..I dream to going one day
Thanks! Hope you can soon!
@@samuelandaudrey I hope too !….damn coronavirus
This was such a fun video!! Thanks for taking me with you. So the Beagle Channel does it have some cute beagle pups running around the area's? OK I will let the cute seal lions be our beagle guides. Or wait maybe those little guys in tuxedo's? BTW What were those geese that looked like the CA goose but had a red head? How interesting!
Thanks Rose! I wish we could have seen more wildlife on our trip.
I would like to know if June or
July are a good time to visit? And yes, what to wear?
I'd never even heard of Ushuaia before your videos but it sounds a very interesting place to visit. The only problem I have is that I live in Northern Europe so getting there would be a fairly lengthy and expensive process.
You coul travel to Madrid, then to Rio de Janeiro, and then there is a right fly to Tierra del Fuego. And as you can see in the video, the prices in Argentina are ver cheap.
@@rogerx005 Thank you.
@@rogerx005 Or KLM Amsterdam to Rio (Ido it in 3 days time!)
If i knew you were coming here i would have gone to see you or suggested some restaurants! haha
Jan 2020 i was there ! It was a m a z i n g ! After i Return Home the world Change to what we have now ☹️
Wow! That is when we visited. Might have walked right by each other;
Amazing video!
Beautiful place.
Well done video.
Thank you! 🌷
Where are you originally from Audrey?
You roll those Rs very well!!!
Muchos Saludos amigos....
Hi there! Thank you for your amazing video! How many days you would recommend to stay in Ushuaia to do all those amazing trips? Thank you.
I would suggest at least 3-4 days, though you could easily fill a week with activities and day trips.
@@samuelandaudrey thank you ❤️
Excellent video 👍👌👏😊
Thank you, Fokas!
Hi, does the boat have bathrooms? Thanks!
Hello... & Greetings for the day,.. I saw your this video for the first time... But i am sure i will check all other videos too Bcos I find it Very Nice detailing, informative & Inspiring to visit such places....
Also have a suggestion for you guys, do add Hash tags so people who are looking for such information then they will be able to find your channel. As I see you have not added any # in your details.
You can add hash tags like this:
#USHUAIA, #Argentina, #Ushuaia Travel Guide, #theCityattheEndoftheWorld
This will help to promote your efforts to more viewers on UA-cam as well as on Google too...
Keep Sharing Good work & Stay Safe..
Enjoy.
You also have to know LAGUNA ESMERALDA
Ahh, that's one of the places we had planned to hike but we had some insane weather days that kept us indoors. Next time!
Love your video. Thank you so much. Question: how is cell service in Ushuaia if you have a US carrier? Any luck?
Thanks, we ended up using internet services like skype to keep in touch. Internet was decent to keep in touch with family back home.
Great video, thank you!! I’ve traveled to Argentina and to Patagonia, we’re you there during COVID? If so, any advice.
Hey ! I was wondering how many days did you stay in Ushuaia to do all of that? 😅
We stayed quite a while since it was the end of the trip but I would say 4-5 days would allow you to cover what we did.
Anyone else notice the person on the railway at the end of the video 🫣
Hi, did you book tickets from Ushuaia to puerto tales ahead or did you book when you were in Ushuaia?
Thank you for traveling so I don't have to. :)
Thanks Tomas! `
Thanks for the video, it was great. I waited a long time for the video. To be honest, I was feeling a bit forgotten about. I know, I know, you have your own relationship to worry about, but it still hurts. I just had to get that off my chest. I’ll be alright….
Thanks Ken! We'll be trying to get videos out more regularly soon.
Hello!! Did you travel recently? Do you know if these areas are open yet? Do you know anything about the Patagonia area if it’s open yet? Thank you!!
Did you feel secure when you were walking around Ushuaia? Is crime an issue for tourist?
We found it really safe in Ushuaia to be honest. We walked around mostly the entire time we visited.
Man is Argentina , no Mexico 🤦🏻♀️ . Argentina , Chile and Uruguay are secure
❤️
Thanks Deb!
😊
🤗🤗
Messi is like Puljujärvi. Both players are better than me😮
:)
Puerto williams in Chile further south than Ushuaia.
Hi! I'm going to Ushuaia in little less than a month (can't believe it!), and I'm trying to figure out if you have to book the penguin tour in advance or if you can just go down to the ticket booth the same day? The online tickets I find cost around 150 USD right now :(
This is what I'm trying to figure out too! How did it go on your trip? Would I be able to get tickets for the non-land excursions the day of or the day before at the booths?
When did you guys travel to Ushuaia? My husband and I are flying to Santiago, Chile tomorrow. We will do W trek and then we want to go to Ushuaia but there is no flight from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia and the boarder is not open yet between Chile and Argentina. Please advise! Thank you😍
We visited pre-pandemic and took an overland/ferry route to arrive there. Honestly, not sure about the current situation right now.
Where do you guys download right free music for your videos? :)
Where you from? The way you pronounce SOUTH-ern sounds Canadian.
Tu devrais appeler la vidéo Ushuaia c'est derrière moi
Did you see aurora borealis at night?
where do you live in Canada?
Well we've been spending time in between Brampton and Fredericton.
Hello...watching from Philippines.
Thanks Marian! All the best in the Philippines!
Schöne Eindrücke! Danke :-) Wir lassen mal ein Abo da! Schau gern auch mal bei uns rein ;-) Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg
Danke!
Hello, lady.I like some Canada but, I like very Patagonya namely Ushuaia. How is Ushuaia? Is cold.There January summer.This is Turkey's winter January.I want see really Ushuaia and Buenos Aires but very far and very expensive for may.I live Turkey's Aegean coast.Goodbye...
when was that?
6:04 no le dicen la laguna del diablo por eso, tiene ese nombre porque si lo vez desde unn helicoptero o desde la montaña del andino,parece un diablo y tambien porque no se sabe la profundidad de esa laguna
Correct pronunciation of Southern is SUTH-ERN, the first syllable is not South, the English language is very contradictory
I feel like that might be the American pronunciation...I definitely recall it being pronounced that way when I visited friends in North Carolina! However, almost all Canadians I know say 'south-ern' - that 'u' is not to be ignored by us. 😉😅
Todavia sigues aquí en ushaia?:)
Esos videos lo deben haber hecho hace 2 años , solo mira la vegetacion y las montañas no cuadra con lo actual y menos sin mascarilla.
@@miguede.m la verdad no es posible creerte sabes hay cosas de aquí q cambiaron y propiamente las veo sabes si no eres de acá Ushuaia no hables no
Tienes porque meterte con una provincia q ni te iso algo!!
Lo visitamos en enero de 2020.
ahi te dicen que fue enero, casi 2 años, obvió pues! Creo que no miras a tu alrededor, Y sea o no del lugar no tiene nada que ver con eso pfffff siempre se encuentra gentre escribiendo sin sentido.
