So today started as most days do, get up go downstairs, eat breakfast (I'm beginning to love the hard bread, especially with dulce de leche), get ready for the day. Today was:go get bus tickets and on to the Tierra Del Fuego national park for a lil hike ...
End of the WORLD but not the end of the trip.....
... the world! The next town is Antartica!!!! Well there is a naval base town called Peurto Williams but it doesnt count! Ushuaia is nestled within a huge range of snow capped mountains and you only had to walk 30 minutes out of town to be amoung ...
Ushuaia
... Tagen El Calafate setzten wir uns in den Bus und fuhren - mal eben 16 Stunden ueber die Magellanstrasse bis nach Ushuaia, die suedlichsten Stadt Suedamerikas, "das Ende der Welt"! Der erste Tag wurde zu einer kleineren Rutschpartie im Nationalpark "Tierre ...
Fin Del Mundo (end of the world!)
12 hours on the bus this time (If you´re in south america you´ll be thinking so what). Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world, what you don´t find out until you get here is that Puerto Williams is south of here, but it's not deisgnated a city! ...
4 x 4 Wheel
... up for the forthcoming ice (kayaking)! As it was New Year's Eve and as this is when Argentineans celebrate at home, Ushuaia's restaurants were effectively closed for dinner but fortunately with a full hotel of cruise guests, the hotel ...
"The end of the world"
... be supporting the tourist trade. Quite a contrast to where we had come from, with temperatures hovering a little above freezing. From Ushuaia, it’s a two day, 1000 km crossing of the Drake Passage to get to the Antarctic Peninsula. We began ...
Last day
... of the time sliding about in the slushy snow, very amusing! The view at the lake was worth it though. I'd recommend a trip to Ushuaia, the only down side is the inflated prices as it's the gateway to the Antarctic and those coming to do cruises gnerally ...
The fairest tourist trap of all
... it´s a pristine iceworld at the bottom of the earth, I thought we had all agreed that it would belong to everyone or noone. Argentina, however, goes to great lengths to help you understand that they do, in fact, have a stake in Antarctica, and picture a ...
El Condor Pasa
... megallanic geese. From time to time, birds of prey would coast past us, effortlessly outpacing our bus. In Ushuaia we trekked six km through the national park of Tierra del Fuego. The next day we reluctantly turned ...
Gable Island and a barbecue
... . (Augustan is the "hiking for half a day to the mountain top for a five minute burn on the snow" level of fitness). Ushuaia appears to attract the outdoorsy people from Buenos Aires. They all come to do a season and stay on. All the blokes here ...
Eine Segeltour mit Hindenissen
... ganz einfach herausstellte. Da die argentinisch-chilenische Grenze genau durch den Kanal verlaeuft gibt es keinen regelmaessigen Faehrverkehr zwischen Ushuaia und Puerto Williams auf der Isla Navarino. Aber da wir ja im Trampen geuebt sind, haben wir ...
Almost at The End of The World
... childish but very satisfying! In the town of Ushuaia itself, the main tourist attraction is funnily enough the old prison. Argentina used to send its most hardened and infamous criminals down here; the ultimate living punishment perhaps - the prison ...
From Puerto Natales to Worlds End (Ushuaia)
... that make it charming. Its got a chilenean and argentinien part, of which i liked the argentinien better. Crossing border into argentina again, i got to the town of Rio Grande. This windy but nice town has everything you will be looking for. ...
La fin del Mundo
... le distenze da qui verso ogni altra citta' del mondo... ad esempio Roma dista solo 13356 km da qui... chi dice che Ushuaia ostenta la sua posizione, sottovaluta la situazione reale... bene l'arrivo sotto la pioggia come gia' detto non mi ha fatto ...
Day 124: December 16, 2007 Ushuaia
Day 124: December 16, 2007 Ushuaia Today was probably one of the least intersting days of the trip but it had to happen. After breakfast, and after giving a Chico Bag to Oscar Tilli, the hotel owner, I took a cab down to the internet café to finish ...
El fin del mundo
Hola from the end of the world! Got into Ushuaia at 20.00, then in true Diane style went out to find some people to talk to. Found an Irish bar and sampled the local brew Beagle, very nice too. Got chatting with some bikers from Switzerland who were ...
Cape Horn / Puerto Williams / Ushuaia
January 9, 2007 Cape Horn / Puerto Williams / Ushuaia Dear Readers: My alarm goes off at 5:45am this morning. I took a seasick pill and a sleeping pill before retiring last night, so if we had any rough water last night I was completely unaware ...
Tierra del Fuego
Trekking and camping near Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego. The weather is like Scotland, but ...
Mendoza and Buenos Aires
... the steak sandwiches raved about - really huge and less than a pound! We continued onwards to Mendoza, producer of 70% of Argentina's wine. We toured around, tasted the wine and ate steak at least once a day - this is certainly ...
Tierra del Fuego National Park
... . The sun was out and wind had all but gone in most of the park. Got close to the Chilean border plus stood at Argentina National Route 3 being the end of the Pan Amercian highway. Next stop Alaska nearly some 18,000 km away? This pleasant day's outing ...
The End of the World - and Beyond
... town. They sent me to a funeral parlour instead of a hotel. So I didn't hang around for long, and quickly headed for Ushuaia (the southernmost city in the world), where I wanted to get my kacks washed in the southernmost laundry in the world, and camp ...
To the ends of the earth. Well, nearly...
... it closed political prisoners were sent there too. Given the choice between going into exile abroad or going to Ushuaia many chose to stay in Argentina out of principle. However, many of them were housed with local families for their terms rather than ...
Ushuaia
... of tourists, everyone knows English (which is a big change from Buenos Aires) and the prices are pretty high. Another name of Ushuaia is ¨tierra del fuego¨ which means the land of fire, this is because the first westerners to arrive here by boat saw ...
Day 122: December 14, 2007 Tierra del Fuego NP
Day 122: December 14, 2007 Ushuaia: Tierra del Fuego National Park I had wondered how I would feel on this day ever since arriving in Argentina, in August. At the end of the day, I would have to say good-bye to Elena-and Elise and Shirl-and put them ...
Ushuai - The end of the world
... We spent our first day shopping for warm clothes since we had none. We bought long underwear and really warm jackets. Ushuaia has grown severely the last few years due to the influx of tourist arriving. Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the ...
The adventure starts here...
Been hearing so much about it.... "the southern most city in the world" = "la ciudad mas austral del mundo"... I had to try it :). Nice small city... cold like H3ll (well.. hell should be hot... i know...) but I had some very nice trips around this ...
End of the World
... the hill and ate at Kaupe, best sea food of our lives: high cuisine without a fuss, ranked the best restaurant in Argentina in 2005 by someone who doesn't have to convince us. Our table overlooked the sea and mountains and ...
Day 123: December 15, 2007 Ushuaia
... not terribly good. I hadn't eaten there before and probably won't again. They did, however, serve Cape Horn beer, from Ushuaia's relatively new brewery-the world's southernmost, undoubtedly. I was surprised that it was very good, especially for a ...
Neu i foc
Vam sortir ja fent-se fosc del hotel i anavem amb un grupet en una furgoneta. Vam anar fins a un restaurant que hi ha a una pista d'esquí de fons, allà ens esperava un altre grupet de gent amb més responsables i el coordinador de la nit, el Walter, al ...
