Ushuaia Travel Blogs - Page 2

Couldn´t possibly travel any further South in Argentina, I made it to the end of the world and all by bus! I have no idea of the distance from here to Quito, its a long way! The border crossings to get to Ushuaia were rather tiresome, I was trying to sleep in between and kept getting woken up to h…

Since I will leave Ushuaia tomorrow early morning, I had to try my best to visit all places within one day. In the morning, I hiked a 1000m tall mountain which had snow at the top. Actually I did 400m myself only. In the afternoon, I joined a boat tour to see the penguine, sea lions and birds. The …

Hola mi amigos y la familia! Life at sea is still treating us well. James has truly gotten into the whole nautical theme by eating seafood for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Surprising he doesnt look like salmon yet. Lauren has a nice cluster of giggling girls to entertain her, including triplets …

I've been traveling exactly one short month, and I've just learned something.  Long trips are microcosms of normal life in ways that vacations could never be.  They have their ups and downs, surprises, failures, regrets, redemptions, weird phases and the whole lot.  This seems logica…

Started my trip in my hometown Cordoba. Took a 10 hr bus to Mendoza, well known for its great variety of wine, specially Malbec; from there a 12 hr bus to Bariloche. Then flew to the Glaciers National Park in Calafate. Couldnt get an airline ticket to The Southern most city in the world, Ushuaia, so I took another bus for 18 hrs to get there. NOT RECOMENDED! From there, back to Calafate, back to Buenos Aires for a day to visit some friends and back to Cordoba.

It's about Argentina, started in Buenos Aires, then Peninsulda Valdes, El Calafate, Torres del Paine in Chili. Then we went to the most southern city of the world, Ushuaia. Our last stop was a visit to the spectacular Iguazu falls at the border of Argentina and Brasil.

One of my favourite places so far. El Fin Del Mundo (the end of the world) they call it and they're not wrong. It's the furthest south city in the world and staging point for trips to Antarctica. It's kinda like an extreme version of Hobart (Home). 21st I visited the Tierra Del Fuego National Park.…

Hoy temprano, despues de una estancia maravillosa en el hotel Los Yámanas (lo recomiendo), salimos para desde un catamarán dar un paseo por el canal Beagle, ver los pinguinos y los lobos marinos, con esta maravilla de paisaje siempre de fondo. Es dificil de explicar lo que se siente estando e…

I have not done very much today as I have had a bit of a cold. I did go out to a great little 2 hour trip to the end of the world train. You can catch a bus or taxi to the station, which is 8km from Ushuaia, it is about 16 to 20 pesos by taxi each way. The train runs on a little steam engine on wha…

Ushuaia, the southest city in the world

A few days trip to Ushuaia,the most southern tip of Patagonia and El Fin Del Mundo. Icy cold and snowing constantly. Did a cruise on the Beagle Channel where we saw sea lions and comorans, the southern lighthouse and the Yamani Dwellings. Brilliant few days.
