Tierra Del Fuego, The Land of Fire although sometimes called the land of Ice and Fire was named when explorers came up the Beagle Channel and saw the natives with their fires burning. From Google - 'Tierra del Fuego is an archipelago at South America’s southernmost tip, shared by Chile and Argentina. It’s known for its dramatic landscape of snowy mountains, glaciers, tundra and wind-sculpted trees. Its main island, Isla Grande, is home to the Argentine resort town of Ushuaia. Sometimes called “the End of the World,” Ushuaia is a gateway to the region and Antarctica to the south.'

We had an evening to explore the National Park of Tierra Del Fuego in Argentina, near the port of Ushuaia. We did a couple of short hikes and saw some of the incredible scenery in the park. We began at Ensenada Bay with a crystal clear lake and a few birds, the Caracara, a raptor with long wings and a flat head. It also hosts the southernmost Post Office in the world, when it's open. We walked the Lapataia Bay lookout trail to Bahia Lapataia, Lapataia Bay, with a stunning platform with beautiful views. We also walked the Beaver Lodge Hike to learn about how introduced beavers have changed the water flow and created an ecosystem of their own in the park. Then we took in the views from the Visitor's Centre. Lastly, we saw a grey fox as we visited Acigami Lake with views of nearby Chile.

This is a stunning place and is a must-see while in Ushuaia. The walks we did are easy and the views are incredible, while the caracaras look at tourists like we are weird!
