Land sweet land. We arrived in Ushuaia Argentina and through the first line on shore around 7 a.m. Ushuaia (pronounced [u'swaia]) is the capital of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego, and claims to be the world's southernmost city. It is located on the southern coast of the island of Tierra del Fuego in a wide bay, guarded on the north ...

Comme la moitié des français, j'ai connu Ushuaia grâce à Nicolas Hulot (l'autre moitié l'ayant connu grâce aux gels douches). Une bonne occasion d'écrire un article a « séquences », sans ULM qui se plante dans un arbre, ni micro branche dans un masque de plongée mais avec quelques bonnes sensations quand même. Séquence « Emotions » Pour arriver ...

And we are back in Argentina. Ushuaia is the city furthest south in the world. Its hard to beleive that we´re really here! Being ever grateful at the moment of Aaron's company during our hikes together in Tierra del Fuego. Much smaller than what I had expected. We did a strenuous hike which I completely underrated as leisurely. The first hike th...

Monday December 17th Tierra del Fuego National Park Yet again the Argentinian fleece-a-tourist machine was in action. The park is a whole 15km or so away, and there are fleets of minibuses. Their standard charge is 35 pesos for the return trip ($14). Our minivan was in such a disreputable state it had probably just fallen over the border from Bo...

Hellooo, maybe this entry will be read only by our most devoted readers cause it is now more than a month ago. But who is not interested how it feels like to come near Cape Horn? Well, the last entry dealt with our struggle to find a bus ticket from Rio Gallegos to Ushuaia which claims to be southernmost city of the world. Well, there is a milit...

After being driven almost insane by the heat of Northern Argentina we threw ourselves onto our knees and kissed the ground at Ushuaia airport (and then very quickly replaced our shorts with all the warm clothes we owned). The temperature was a very British 9 degrees (although this is actually summer) and we instantly felt at home. We took great ...

Arriving in the most southern town in the world was a real treat. We sailed through the Magellan Strait from the Chilean Fjords. Being in mid-summer sunrise was just after 5 am when the mountains that surround Ushuaia appeared on the horizon. It is the capital of the Province of Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia -which in the yámana language means "Bay ...

We were in FIN DEL MUNDO!!! that means - End of The World!!! Ushauia is really a small but beautiful place. We slept there at Violetta´s - its the home of an old and very nice seniora. The day we got there it was her nephew (I think...) birthday so the seniora and her husband invited all the hostel to a big Asado dinner for free. I think they b...

Even though the trip began a day before with us checking into the 'Los Nires' hotel and me getting to know my triple share room-mates, Claude from Switzerland and Chue from the USA, today was when the anticipation crescendoed. After a restful sleep, we just about caught the Sun performing alchemy on the mountain tops and surprise, surprise, I we...

Our third day in Ushuaia. what we did today was to take an excursion = organized trip on a 4X4 land rover jeep with a guide to the lakes of Tierra del Fuego. the 8 hours trip included 3 main principles: good photography locations, a guided tour to the area of Ushuaia, and an experience in field driving . although only the guide is driving it is ...
