Journey to Ushuaia: The End of the World

Begin your day with a flight to Ushuaia, a charming city known as “the end of the world.” Despite its small size, Ushuaia is full of character and best explored on foot. The Yamana people, its original inhabitants, named it “Ushuaia,” meaning “protected bay.”

Incorporated into Argentina in 1884, Ushuaia became a penal colony, helping to establish a permanent Argentine presence in the region. Once you arrive, enjoy an afternoon of leisure, wandering through the town. Dive into the area’s rich history with a visit to the Prisoners’ Museum or the Fueguian History Gallery.
