Ushuaia is certainly”the” destination of every overlander travelling on the Panamerica, who is travelling on the Panamerica. It is the southernmost city in the world , followed by Antarctica by (cruise) ship. The term”city” definitely applies, when you look at the infrastructure and the number of tourists. Lots of restaurants, tour operators and hostels/hotels are prepared for the thousands of tourists in the high season (December-February). Cruise shiptourism to the Antarctic in particular starts and ends here. A lively city where you can definitely spend a few days.

In addition to the amenities of the city, which offers something for every budget, the surrounding area is particularly worthwhile. The nearbyTierra del Fuego National Park can be reached in 30 minutes by bus or car. Endless hiking trails guaranteed.

Just as worthwhile as the Tierra del Fuego National Park is a drive along the coast to Estancia Haberton. On the approx. 50 kilometres of gravel road, you pass moors, ancient forests and wild stretches of coastline. It’s definitely worth making a stop in Puerto Almanza, where you can try the giant king crab and other sea creatures in the rustic fish restaurant ‘El Fronton’. A real treat. The Estancia Haberton is the oldest farm in Argentina (very British!) and invites you to a four o`clock tea.
