Ushuaia

It is the capital of the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands. A mythical, distant and immense place... also known as the gateway to Antarctica.
Only 12 km. from Ushuaia is the entrance to the “Tierra del Fuego National Park”, which combines marine, forest and mountain environments, giving a singular shape to the sea coast, lakes, valleys, extensive peatlands and magnificent forests dominated by lengas, sour cherries and ñires.
