The city:

  • Ushuaia is the capital of the province of Tierra de Fuego which is in the Antarctic and South Atlantic Islands. It is best known as "The world´s southernmost city" or "The city at the end of the world" ("La Ciudad mas austral del mundo" or "La ciudad del fin del mundo").

It is located between the Martial Mountains and the Beagle channel, a great location to enjoy the glaciers, woods, sea and high mountains. There are some interesting attractions in the city including The Jail at the End of the World. The name Ushuaia comes from the Yámanas´ natives language: Ush (at heart) and wuaia (bay).
