With gorgeous granite mountains behind it and the Beagle Channel laid out in front of it, Ushuaia, Argentina is considered the end of the world. The only thing south of Ushuaia is Antarctica. Cruise ships pull into the Beagle Channel with a breathtaking view of the mountains. In the city itself, we stopped by The End of the World Prison which is now a museum complex that includes a prison museum, and art, antarctic and maritime museums. There is also an End of the World Museum. In a main square, there is a park-like setting with Plaza Islas Malvinas, a memorial for those lost in the Falklands War. We see Martial Glacier in a stunning mountain setting in the Martial Mountain Range, then enjoy a snack at a tea house in the woods,. Lunch is at Hard Rock Cafe with a look at a small bit of memorabilia. Laguna del Diablo is a park with a gorgeous lake. In the city centre, there are historic gardens and houses like the Governor's House. There are two types of tours available, the city bus and the city train. We took the Ushuaia City Train to some stunning panoramic viewpoints and a drive past La Mission Barrio, where the first settlers chose to live.

Ushuaia is the capital of Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina. Tierra Del Fuego National Park is minutes from the city. Much of the town's infrastructure, including the famous End of the World Train in Tierra Del Fuego, was built by prisoners, sent to Ushuaia because of its isolation.

What a gorgeous place. Although it's a city, it still has the feel of a small, pioneer town. It's in a setting that simply can't be beaten!
