Oficina de Informacion Turistica

Reviewed By jonahNJ - Pennington, United States

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.

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!

Laguna Esmeralda

Reviewed By lucysfonseca - Belo Horizonte, Brazil

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.

Glaciar Vinciguerra

Reviewed By Lisa0418

The hike was steep but loads of fun. At the top, we explored the glacier and ice cave. The trail was very muddy and slippery.
