The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Ushuaia, Patagonia

November 25, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

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.

Faro Les Eclaireurs

Reviewed By ShifraToronto

Such a catchy phrase. Of course, if you are touring in the area, you must have a picture of it. So, on your voyage through the Beagle Channel by catamaran, the catamaran will stop at this lighthouse and pivot, so everyone on the deck can have photo access to it. You will also see cormorants, sea lions and penguins on other islands in the Beagle Channel. Now that you have the iconic picture, you might want to know something about the lighthouse This lighthouse at the end of the world and the beautiful island on which it lies inspired one of Jules Verne’s lesser known books, "Lighthouse at the End of the World", an adventure story about a tenacious lighthouse keeper and a sadistic band of pirates.The French author started writing the book in 1901 and it was published posthumously in 1905. The lighthouse is built on the Isla de los Estados island some 29 kilometers from the mainland of Argentina’s southern most province Tierra del Fuego. It is powered by solar power. The iconic picture, with the mountains in the background, will be lovely, especially on a sunny day. I was debating how many stars to give Faro Les Eclaireurs One sees it for only a few minutes in passing. But, there is only one lighthouse at the end of the world. If you are lucky enough to be close enough to take a picture of it, you will have done something most of your friends have not. I give it a five for the bragging rights :).

Galeria Tematica Historia Fueguina

Viví un apasionante viaje por la historia mítica de Tierra del Fuego. Con más de 36 escenas y 120 figuras de personajes de la historia de Tierra del Fuego, todo en tamaño natural y con una increíble apariencia real, acompañado con auriculares y una audioguía en diferentes idiomas.

I thought this was going to be cheesy but turned out to be a lot of fun and educational. You can step in to a lot of the exhibits and get some fun photos. We were a bit rushed to try to get through all of the presentations but you could easily spend 1.5 to 2 hours here.
