Ushuaia is the capital of the

regarded as the southernmost city in the world. Ushuaia
is located in a wide bay on the southern coast of the
island of Tierra del Fuego, bounded on the north by
the Martial mountain range and on the south by the Beagle
Channel. Tourist attractions include the Tierra del
Fuego National Park and Lapataia Bay. The park can be
reached by highway, or via the End of the World Train
(Tren del Fin del Mundo) from Ushuaia. The city has
a museum of Yámana, English, and Argentine settlement,
including its years as a prison colony. Wildlife attractions

the End of the World Station from where the trip on board

Fuegian Railway), best known as the End of the World Train,

coaches fitted with fully panoramic windows, will take

route that the old train run when it carried the prisoners
of the old Ushuaia Presidium during their trips in search
for firewood. The train starts running alongside Pipo
River, entering the Tierra del Fuego National Park. You
will make a short stop at 'Cascada de la Macarena' (Macarena's
Cascade), where there is a reproduction of a settlement
of Selknam aborigine tribe, the primitive inhabitants
of the region before white men's arrival. The way continues
skirting the Mount Martiales Range, passing through an
area where the native wood has been completely depleted,
and you will see a large quantity of fallen trunks, called
'tocones', trace of the former felling in this area which
is nowadays protected by the National Park. A good example
of what human beings can do to nature if they exploit
it unlimitedly. |

Fuego National Park, the only one in the country situated
on the maritime coast, only 12 km from Ushuaia. A fascinating
trip with assorted views on the Beagle Channel, surrounded

and assorted flowers such as: orchids, violets, daisies,
sea-pinks and Fuegian edelweiss. |
