Itinerary
We will board the train at the End of the World Station. On board, you will hear the story of the prisoners who came daily to cut wood in this area, and delight in the magnificent landscapes, including the winding Pipo River, La Macarena waterfall, the tree cemetery, and the majestic lenga forest. You will enjoy this experience aboard a vintage railway, with its steam locomotives and elegant cars featuring large windows and an individual audio system, which allows you to listen to the story in seven different languages. This allows you to not only appreciate the surrounding nature but also learn about a very important part of Ushuaia's history.
The journey will continue to the National Park Station, admiring the magnificent landscape of the mountains and valleys near the border with the park. On board each train, our professional tour guides will be able to provide you with all the information related to the history of the original prisoner train and the various geographic features of the flora and fauna, as well as information about what you can see along the way, should you have any questions.
Upon arriving at the National Park Station, our last stop, your guide will be waiting to continue your visit to Tierra del Fuego National Park.
The National Park represents the southernmost protected area in Argentina. It is the only one with both sea coasts and mountains.
Throughout the tour, we will explore landscapes of great natural beauty, stopping at highlights such as the Pipo River, Mount Susana, Lake Acigami, the Alakush Visitor Center, Laguna Verde, and the famous Lapataia Bay, where the legendary Pan-American Highway ends. We will make stops for photography and a short hike, which will be subject to weather conditions.
The park's geography is as diverse as it is fascinating: rugged mountains, rivers, valleys, lakes, and the shores of the Beagle Channel create an ideal setting for admiring the subantarctic forest at any time of year. Along the way, you may spot the Fuegian red fox and a wide variety of birds, such as the cachaƱa, the giant woodpecker, the rayadito, the Patagonian thrush, and the emblematic caranca goose, symbol of the National Park.
At the end of the excursion, we will return from the National Park to Ushuaia by shared transfer.
