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.

I booked this as a shore excursion for our visit to Ushuaia. Our guide met us on the dock adjacent to our ship and off we went. Ushuaia is beautiful place with breathtaking photo opportunities. Our guide was very well versed on the area and provided an excellent excursion. Even though it was Summer there, dress warmly in layers.

We had no problem with the tour van, guide and driver. In the park, we took a walk. The scenery was not that impressive since we went there in March. I had my winter coat on. Besides the lake, there were no beautiful plants. The scenery may be different in December, January, or February. The most memorable stop is the southernmost post office in the world.

Wonderful and flexible guide Maxi. He waited 2 hours as our travel from the airport delayed us. He gave us a good overview of important sights and information about life in Buenos Aires.
