Top 10 Nature & Parks in Ushuaia, Patagonia
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.

Spending one hour on the island to experience the penguins was a once in a lifetime experience. You'll take a small speed boat, referred to add a zodiac, for a 15 minute journey from estancias harberton. Once off the zodiac, you'll enjoy an up close walking experience of the penguin natural habitat. Wear layers and a rain worthy shell just in case. The guide provided an informative overview of the penguins and various habitat explanations.

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.

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!

We passed through Ushuaia Bay on our cruise. Ushuaia was one of our port stops. Ushuaia Bay is the wide sweeping harbor of the world’s southernmost city, Ushuaia. The bay has a scenic setting, with the forested slopes of the snowcapped Andes to the north and the icy waters of the Beagle Channel to the south. The waterfront of Ushuaia Bay is just a short walk from the steep streets of Ushuaia’s city center.

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.

We took a minivan from Ushuaia to the parking lot where the trail starts. Minivans also run the reverse sense on some scheduled time. The trail is very well marked, scenic and easy to follow. It can be very muddy depending on wheter it has rained before so it is better to wear waterproof boots. After a bit less than two hours walking in a slow pace, we reached the very beautiful Laguna Esmeralda.
