Hosteria Mirabeagle Ushuaia

... food in a while so this is probably a good time to do so. We have had plenty of food experience in both Peru and Argentina so far, so we can compare and contrast the two pretty safely at this point. I think Amy and I are both in agreement for the most part when I say we enjoy Peruvian food more on the whole. They have a wide variety of dishes that are uniquely Peruvian using potatoes, corn, beef, pork and chicken - dishes you canīt really find outside of ...

... de lobos marinhos que estao com alguns filhotes nessa epoca do ano. Legal demais. Descemos inclusive para uma caminhada numa das ilhas. Percorremos a baia de Ushuaia e um pedacinho do Canal Beagle. A Anttartica esta soh a uns 1000Km.

Ao voltar visitei o Museu do Fim do Mundo onde eh possivel conhecer, na visita guiada, as historias dos quatro povos primitivos da Terra do Fogo. Comprei duas replicas de mapas do seculo XVII bem legais para fazer ...

... around town on the first day and went down towards the docks. This place is bitterly cold but it is a great feeling to say we went to the most southerly city in the world.
It was in Ushuaia that i lost my hiking virginity. We were dropped in the local national park where we were met with bitter cold and rain. nice. We walked for 3 and a half hours along flat terrain along the lake shore. we couldnt really see what all the fuss as about so ...

The southernmost city in the world. Do I have to say more? It is a remote and surprisingly alive and dynamic city considering its location and weather. The ...

... shore, and glaciers visible through a rocky 'gateway' at the top of a hill. At one point I just sat on a rock, as long as the cold would allow, looking and listening around me, conscious that I would probably never again be on Antarctica, and simply trying to absorb and store as much of its silent, wild, isolated beauty as I could. And now I am back on board the MV Ushuaia... the Drake was ...

... naar het park. Na een uurtje wandelen werden we bijna aangereden door twee Fuegan red vossen die over het paadje liepen. Bizar gaaf. Snel fototoestel gepakt, maar het mannetje liep rustig door en het vrouwtje na een flinke omweg, dus maar beperkt fotos kunnen nemen, maar de ervaring was fantastisch. Wij zijn wel allebei natuur-mensen denk ik. Verder hebben we wilde konijntjes, mussen (die overwinteren blijkbaar hier, heeft weinig nut, want is ...

... and other tourists fly in. Serious adventurers, like Antarctic sailors and explorers, start their journeys here. Then there are the package cruise ships, many continuing on to Antarctica (10 days and $4,000), and of course the backpackers. The town is decent, but the setting is stunning. It has a great park, and many day hikes and boat cruises around the Beagle Channel. It also has a fascinating history. The ...

... have to make do with a begged meal of empanadas at a closed local takeaway. Monday Jan 19th REST DAY: USHUAIA We both love bike travel but gee, it's nice to have a day off them. With a sleep in and a late breakfast we also have a chance to catch up with our revolting pile of washing, some emails and then head up to the Glacier for a hike and some views of the area. Ushuaia is a cute little town, with matchbox style houses built along a small grid of steep streets - The ...

... funny little things face to face - exciting! First stop of the tour was to see the famous Flag Tree that has been bent by the wind to resemble a flag flapping in the wind. After the tree we visited one of the thousands of beaver dams in the area. In the1950s some entrepreneurs introduced 25 Canadian beavers to a local farm in an attempt to develop a local fur industry. The mild temperature resulted in poor fur quality so they released the beavers ...
