Best of Ushuaia: Drive to the "End of the World"
Easy Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Begin your easy half day excursion in Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city. Located on the border of the Beagle Channel and with the snow-capped Martial Mountains embracing the town, the port city of Tierra del Fuego boasts a colorful history as a one-time prison colony.
Now, this picturesque capital of Argentina's island province is an alluring gateway to the glories of wild, untamed nature and the perfect place to begin a drive to 'Fin del Mundo,' the end of the world.
Step aboard your comfortable, air-conditioned motorcoach and set off on an unforgettable adventure with your experienced English speaking guide. Ongoing narration will bring history, culture, and fascinating details of the natural world to the fore.
Travel through Ushuaia's charming suburbs and the Pipo River Valley and enter into Tierra del Fuego National Park. This pristine reserve protects the southern area of the sub Antarctic forest, and offers stunning scenery. Carved by the massive glaciers that once covered the region, the park is a masterpiece of dramatic tableaus. Feast your eyes on towering mountains draped in Ice Age glaciers, rivers bordered by virgin forest, and sapphire lakes circled by peat bogs and beaver-dam ponds.
Your itinerary reveals one breathtaking sight after another, features abundant photo opportunities and includes stops at three major park attractions. The first of these is Ensenada Bay where you´ll disembark to enjoy one of nature´s grandest displays. Looking out over the Beagle Channel, be enthralled by a magnificent panorama. Named after the ship that carried English naturalist, Charles Darwin, the channel boasts towering snow capped mountains, and a rough-hewn coastline dotted by islands in all shapes and sizes.
The journey continues along a narrow and picturesque route to Roca Lake where you'll have the opportunity to stretch your legs as well as your imagination! Picture the adventurers who have walked this way before you as you explore a portion of this mythical coastline. Along the way your guide will share insights into the flora and fauna and enthusiastically answer all your questions.
Your final stop marks one of the travel world's most unique and unforgettable milestones: the end of the world. Lapataia Bay is the last stop on the Pan-American Highway, an astounding marvel of civil engineering that begins in Alaska and stretches nearly 12,000 miles across two continents. Guinness' Book of World Records lists the highway as the world's longest "motorable road."
Take plenty of time to soak up the marvels of the region, both natural and man-made, and then commence your return drive to Ushuaia learning much to inspire further exploration.
