- Hello and greetings from Ushuaia, Argentina where we'll cover the top things to do in this Ushuaia travel guide from this fascinating city at the end of the world! Today we’re going to be visiting the southernmost city in the world, located in the province of Tierra del Fuego at the very bottom of Argentina.
This was the final stop of our massive trip across Patagonia and we’ll be sharing some of the best things to do in Ushuaia during your visit. Join us as we cruise the Beagle Channel, ride the train to the end of the world, send a postcard from the southernmost post office, tour a former prison-turned museum, explore the city via double-decker bus, and more!
The following is our Ushuaia travel guide! We hope this video gives you a few ideas of the many tours, attractions and experiences you can enjoy here!
🇦🇷 Things to do in Ushuaia, Argentina 🇦🇷
1) Cruise the Beagle Channel
This is a great opportunity to see some wildlife like cormorants, penguins and sea lions! Bring your passport on the cruise because you can get a Beagle Channel stamp.
2) See the Lighthouse and End of the World
Often attributed as Jules Verne's lighthouse at the end of the world, this lighthouse's real name is Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse.
3) Admire the Penguins on Hammer Island
Not all tour operators are allowed to disembark at the penguin rookery, so in our case, we just admired them from the boat!
4) Go on a Double-Decker Bus Tour of Ushuaia
Picture an old-fashioned double-decker bus painted bright blue, and then get ready to be transported back through time as you set step aboard. Over the course of the tour you’ll get to learn about Ushuaia’s history and hear fun anecdotes, with a bit of tango music in between.
5) Visit the Prison at the End of the World
Ushuaia was founded as a penal colony and this prison was in operation between 1902 to 1947. Today, it houses multiple museums including the Prison Museum, the Maritime Museum, the Antarctic Museum, the Art Museum, and the Art Gallery.
6) Tour the Themed Gallery of Fuegian History
This is a museum featuring dioramas and lifelike figures that showcase the history of the province of Tierra del Fuego. The visit is done as a self-guided tour with an audio guide, so you can go at your own pace.
7) Visit the End of the World Museum
This museum deals with local history and natural history. The displays here focus on local wildlife and shipwreck remains.
8) Visit the Former Government House + Botanical Garden
Set in the former Government House, this museum has a couple of displays relating to its history, as well as a small botanical garden.
9) Sample the Local Cuisine
Ushuaia has lots of unique seafood dishes and the thing to try is the king crab!
10) Go on a Walk along the Harbour
Another thing we’d recommend doing in Ushuaia is walking along the Costanera, which is the boardwalk along the waterfront. You can see all sorts of vessels in the harbour, including cruises departing for Antarctica.
11) See the Saint Christopher
Once known as the HMS Justice, this was a Royal Navy ship classified as a rescue tug and it served at the Normandy landings during World War 2. After the war, the ship was sold and renamed Saint Christopher, where it was chartered for salvage operations in Beagle Channel.
12) Take a photo at the Ushuaia City Sign
This is an iconic photo-op to show you made it to the end of the world.
13) Hike in Tierra del Fuego National Park
This is a very easy day trip from Ushuaia seeing as the park is located just 12 kilometres west of the city. This park consists of subantarctic forest and boasts some dramatic landscapes featuring snow-capped mountains, forests, lagoons and pebbly coves. One of our favourite hikes was Senda Costera, which is the coastal trail along the Beagle Channel.
14) Visit Lapataia Bay
This part of the national park features 6 mini trails that are between 400 meters and 2 kilometres in length. They are very short hikes and easy.
15) Send mail from the Southernmost Post Office
This tiny post office sits atop a pier on the shores of the Beagle Channel and it’s the last chance to send mail before reaching Antarctica.
16) Ride the Train at the End of the World
Once upon a time, this was known as the train of prisoners, but today, the train has been developed into a heritage train and it’s considered the southernmost functioning railway in the world.
17) Take a Day trip to Tolhuin
This is a small town located an hour and a half away from Ushuaia. The main draw to this town is its famous bakery, where you can enjoy all sorts of pastries, empanadas, and even artisanal chocolates. Aside from that, there is a beautiful lake and a few hiking trails.
That concludes our Ushuaia travel guide! We hope you enjoyed getting to see the southernmost city in the world. Ushuaia has plenty of unique attractions and fun excursions to offer visitors; it’s well worth adding to your Argentina itinerary if you’re planning to travel in Patagonia!

Ushuaia is one of Argentina's top destinations, and for good reason. This beautiful city, perched dramatically between the Martial mountains, the bay and the Beagle Channel, is popular for its sheer beauty, spectacular marine wildlife, and for its acclaim as the city at the End of the World
i spent 5 months there working...
What an experience!
Completely agree!
Just copy
My Dad is from Argentina and I’ve been there 2 time and the culture and foods are so good and very cheap and great site to visit
That is great to hear! Where did you go together?
Ya. The food looked like home cooking❗️And, needless to say....Fresh seafood....And delicious❗️
Cheaper and cheaper,great investment
The southernmost point of Argentina is so much more hospitable than the northernmost point of coastal Canada and the United states. Cheers guys, we also say Katamaran in Dalmatia.
One most beautiful country in the world ❤️🇦🇨 I love Argentina
We think so too! 😊
IT IS THE MOST BANKRUPT AND USELESS COUNTRY IN THE GLOBE.
Thanks my Southern hemisphere brother, your country its beautiful aswell 🥰

You both make the BEST travel videos, I absolutely love watching your videos! They are inspiring and fun while being educational all in one. Thank you for the awesome content!
Lindo video. Fui en invierno de 2016. Recuerdo que fui a ver el glaciar Martial, hice una solitaria caminata ascendiendo a un cerro boscoso en el parque nacional, hice el tour acuático por el canal Beagle, recorrí casi toda la ciudad a pie y fui a esquiar al cerro Castor. Hermoso.
Muchas gracias Diego!
It’s not an easy period with my mental health and stuff but I’m genuinely happy to see this video. But I’m sad that the trip is (almost) over.
But for sure I have enjoyed these nine months of travel videos SO MUCH ❤️

Muchas gracias Adrian!

We're so happy to hear that! Glad you enjoyed your time in Ushuaia. 😊
Nicely done. It is one my list of places to go after seeing your video
This video is just what I needed as I’m in Beunos Aires thinking about going here!
You guys are #CoupleFood&TravelGoals!!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Some thing many travelers don't mention is Cerro Castor, wich is a professional ski slope. Is very famous for being used by European snow sports men and women for training during the summer time in Europe
Great video. I miss your video's. I was previously subscribed and when I came across this video it was showing I was not subscribed. Oh well, looking forward to bingeing on your video's. Thanks and take care.
Thanks for nice Info.
Gorgeous!!! You must visit the rest of the Patagonia, it's a fairy world!
Thank you! We have lots of Patagonia videos on the channel. We did 2 trips that were several months in length so you'll find everything from mountainous to seaside destinations.
Nice video guys!! Very scenic as usual!!
Thank you very much Peter!

Thanks for watching, Michel! We're glad you liked it.
Great informative video. Looks great to spend a few days. Like you say the weather can be a problem if you are unlucky. The joys of travel. A once in a life time trip. Enjoyed what you showed us and the choice of boat trips train journey and walks.
I guess if it were an overall trip to Argentina Ushuaia would be interesting to try and spend 3/4 days. Always good to see Samuel tucking in to the food.
Great information. Thanks.
Thank you very much Foster! We just loved visiting Ushuaia!

ARGENTINA BICONTINENTAL
its been awhile since we saw your videos. this format is nice to see the sites and sounds.
Thank you very much!
Hey guys!! Nice to see you again!!
You should do a ranking about the most tasty food: Asían, sudamerican or European.
Ooo, it would be so hard to choose!!! But I mean, just off the top of my head I'm thinking Korean, Peruvian, and Italian are some of our favourites. 😋🍜
Muchos Saludos amigos....
hey guys I live in India Very amazing place in Argentina , i am excited about this Argentina place visit and see and enjoy UshUaia. And I request you to visit in my country India and see wonderful place tajmahal and Hindus culture.🙏🙏

The lighthouse located in the islands of the Beagle channel is not the lighthouse at the end of the world. The famous lighthouse is located outside the channel on the Isla de Los Estados and its name is San Juan de Salvamento
Thanks for letting us know.
I was looking at a map and I saw Ushuaia and I looked at images of the city and now I wanna go
That is great to hear!

Beautifully shot,woderfull place,great content,updated my bucket list😊.
Thank you guys,,,,oh let me subscribe
Thank you! Welcome to the channel.
Amazing video!
Great guide. I was camped out near the Rio Olivia and didn't visit all those attractions - although I did ride out to the National Park to get to the end of Ruta 3. Your video filled in the gaps :)
Thank you very much! Great to hear about your camping experiences!
Beautiful place.
Well done video.
Thank you! 🌷
Where are you originally from Audrey?
Thank You .....
Thanks Zdenek!
Vancouver Grizzlies hat! My man!
Once again, intresting to see that they in Argentina seems to like Lupine flowers wery mutch.....in at least Euroupe it is as see as a very dangerus weed invasive etc.etc!? Well one of your travel gole was reached! Wonder wat your next travel will show us!🕊
Oh, yes, the lupine flowers can be seen across Patagonia - especially in areas close to the Andes as opposed to the steppe. They're quite beautiful!
Hey guys! Love this series! And it doesn’t seem to end.. beautiful vistas, amazing food and great tours! What more can you ask for? Sam that beer looks awesome! Brown Ale?
We're glad to hear you enjoyed the series! We have a couple of food adventures from Buenos Aires, but then that's a wrap on the Argentina videos.
Sam&Audrey you have done such a great job with this vlog 👏 👏 ive always dreamt of going to Ushuaia...visiting my friends in BA is long overdue but with covid its taken the back seat! BUT i am so ready to go and explore this fabulous country...i wouldn't have known where to start but with your help i shall be ready when Arg opens up once more to European travellers. Your Arg vlogs are so informative and well made. One thing though...we are vegetarians and i'm little concerned, ive not seen you eating anything really without fish or meat apart from chips and deserts 🤔😊
All the Best
Sabrina 🇨🇵🇬🇧
Thanks for your message, Sabrina. I hope you'll get to visit BA and the rest of Argentina once things start to open back up. As for the food, you'll have no trouble finding vegan and vegetarian restaurants in the capital. It might be hard to find a strictly veggie restaurant in smaller destinations, however, there are usually a few options on the menu. I hope that helps a bit!
@@samuelandaudrey Thank you 😊 i look forward to travel and discover Argentina...i was just thinking 🤔 may be a good idea for me to investigate as a vegetarian and special need ...i love all your travel videos, i always discover new things i love your low key laid back curious attitude...Also that you love both cats and dogs...it doesnt have to be one or the other right? I am the proud owner of 3 cats and a rescue dog, its ok to love both 😇 🐈 😇 🐕
@@sabrinastraveladventures4263 wahoo!
Dear friends, if you notice, Lapataia and Ushuaia in Argentina and Yendegaia in Chile are very similar words and cultures. Thanks for so nice video, greetings from Chile.
Thanks a million for sharing your trip to us. THIS PLACE IS MY DREAM PLACE TO VISIT. Don't know how many times I dreamed to visit this place. Can you please tell me how many days you spent there?
As a person from Denmark, which often along with Finland gets called the happiest country in the world, I must say, Bhutan looks amazing, and its people too
Haven't made it to Bhutan yet, but thanks for sharing!
Thank you for a wonderful video. Can you please tell us the name of the town with the big bakery and the guest house you stayed in there. Thanks again.
If i knew you were coming here i would have gone to see you or suggested some restaurants! haha
Todo Audrey es una Historia ! ^^
Muchas gracias!
@@samuelandaudrey de nada !... if you replace audrey with hombre its a song by Juanes ... maybe you heard of it ...
You roll those Rs very well!!!
Hermosos paisajes, algún día me gustaría ir allá. por cierto he visto flamear la bandera de mi país en el minuto 11:05 (Perú) quedé sorprendido.
saludos desde Lima - Perú.
Ese es el monumento q recuerda la guerra de Malvinas, la bandera de Perú flamea en ese lugar el agradecimiento a la ayuda peruana en la guerra.

This was a beautiful video thanks for your efforts. The only reason I'm here is because I was watching a Mark Knopfler video of a song called If This Is Goodbye and a person left the comment that they loved the song and they were from that town which was at the bottom of the world and made me want to look it up and it's beautiful. 👍✌
Happy you found us. The city at the end of the world is a pretty magical place!
@@samuelandaudrey I'm subbed. Safe Travels. ✌
To get the best views of Ushuaia , from Glaciar Martin easy to walk
Great video, thank you!! I’ve traveled to Argentina and to Patagonia, we’re you there during COVID? If so, any advice.
