Av. de los Nires 3040 Ushuaia, Province of Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, Argentina, 9410, (+54)-290-144-5173
Just a brief one night stopover before we sail on the good ship Akademik Ioffe. Cue sleepless night spent pacing the floor and ironing my thermals!!! Well I always said I would go to the ends of the earth for Julie.................now we're doing it:-) This is the southernmost city in THE WORLD...........and it feels like it, ccccold! Our initial thoughts are that this place is totally unique although, as with the rest of Argentina the locals are easy going and always helpful. We'll get more ...
Ushuaia, Argentina bigusredus
... hele hoop mooie warme truien en jassen te kopen. Ik kan het allemaal niet meer kwijt. Heb al sinds een paar weken met mezelf afgesproken, dat ik totdat ik in BA ben niets meer koop. Dat ik het allemaal niet meer kwijt kan. Dit laatste heb ik ook gemerkt aan de grens van Argentinie en Chili.. Om in Ushuaia te komen moet je eerst weer een stukje over Chileens grondgebied. Ik denk dat ze hier niets anders te doen hebben als reizigers irriteren :-). Was heel eerlijk ...
Ushuaia, Argentina famkederksen... uma janelinha pequena. Os presos ficavam sozinhos ou em duplas. Mulheres vieram pra cah por algunas anos mas depois virou uma colonia exclusivamente masculina.<br><br>Os pavilhoes, com dois andares, tinham 3 "lareiras" centrais que serviam para aquecer. Devia fazer um frio danado nas celas fechadas. Uma lampada de 25W pendia do teta de cada cela.<br><br>Alem de tudo que jah contei sobre o trem e o trabalho dos presos, eles eram obrigados ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina andre_c10002... my best to negotiate a better deal for Steve and I, but once again lose this battle and pay full price of $50 pesos additional each. These Argentinians are good!!!<br><br>After driving a short distance in the park, cars are stopped. A van in front of us slid off the road. The roads are all ice and it is very slippery. The driver tells us that this is as far as he can take us. We all get out and continue on to the trail via a slick icy road slipping 2-3 times in the first couple ...

Ushuaia, Argentina nic.lachapelleUshuaia.....absolutely stunning landscape. Yesterday I took a train into the central park and saw wild horses, foal and beautiful birds in the plush green protected park. Today I climbed upto a glacier with Shauna, Andrew and Geoff.....the scenery up there was spectacular. We walked, trekked, hiked and rock climb through torrential rain to finally reach the crevices of the top of the glacier...it was incredible, and then ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina cornflake... park before heading further south to reach the end of Highway 3 which runs from Buenos Aires to this remote spot and which also links up with the famous Pan American Highway (Route 5) which goes all the way to the other end of North America to connect to the Dempster Highway. Upon our return to civilization and the city of Ushuaia, four of us left our tour group and struck out for lunch at the Kaupe Restaurant. The restaurant was only about six blocks away from our ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina oldnavigator... at. We also saw a lot of birds called cormorants that look a bit like penguins, but unfortuneately I didn´t see any penguins. Ushuaia is where cruises to the Antarctic depart from; they´re quite expensive so I opted out of that particular trip! Since I couldn´t go any further south if I wasn´t going to the south pole, it was time to start heading back up north again. I had a gruelling (and very dull) 33 hour bus journey to Puerto Madryn on the Atlantic coast ...

cape renard, Patagonia, Antarctica rogersusieq... about doing things yourself, we seem to be walking up and down the street to several offices and calling different people trying to get the information we need. But I think we have finally sorted it today. On Sunday we leave Ushuaia at 5am to El Calafate, we should be able to visit the Moreno Glacier from there and will probably travel into Chile and the lake district. Will probably write again from there and hope to upload some more pics then. Keep in touch xx
