10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Ushuaia That You Shouldn't Miss

May 13, 2022 Sheron Bogner

The world's southernmost city is located on the Beagle Channel, between the Martial Range and the end of the world. It is a key access point to skiing at Cerro Castor and Glaciar Martial, wildlife adventures with penguins and orcas in the Beagle Channel, and Tierra del Fuego National Park. Of course, it’s also the port of call nearest Antarctica, and a unique destination for kayaking, sailing or having a drink in a warm hotel bar.

When my wife and I visited Ushuaia, one of the first stops we made was to this Tourist Center. While the center is not very large, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The center provides clean restrooms, seating as well as a variety of complimentary brochures and maps. Even more appreciated was a complimentary stamp to our passports along with a complimentary signed certificate confirming our visit to the bottom tip of Argentina! This Tourist Center is a great starting point for any first visit to Ushuaia as it provides a wealth of information that will enhance the journey around this beautiful city.

Glacier Martial

A marked trail in the center of town leads intrepid souls on a grueling hike up this glacier, for which they are rewarded with spectacular sweeping views of the southernmost tip of the earth.

Reviewed By F1211SVelizabethd - Los Angeles, United States

I stayed in a hotel well up the road that leads to the Glacier so it was a nice hike from there. Although some people do it, I would not consider it safe to walk up the road from Ushuaia because of the nature of the road and lack of pavement for pedestrians. If you're in central Ushuaia, do get a taxi to a spot close to the Glacier (there's an actual tax rank, so you can get a taxi back.) I am not an experienced mountaineer and it was a glorious and not to difficult hike!

Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego

Reviewed By TravelWarrior200 - Pasadena, United States

I stayed two nights at Los Cauquennes Hotel before a ten day cruise to Antarctica. Did an entire day at the national park with the extraordinary services of Canal fun and Nature which provided us with an all-morning guided trek of 4 to 6 miles in the beautiful forest, then a lunch in a domed tent that they maintain, followed by a two hour canoe ride (actually inflatable rafts where that are somewhat comparable to canoes). An amazing history, a fair amount of wild life, beautiful views of the various bays, and an interesting self-paddled ride in the afternoon on one of the lakes and then rivers. Everything in the park is well organized even if you don't use a guide or similar service.
