Hostel
by Sharrie
I came across this nice little quaint hostel overlooking the sea & mountain.
Well, at that time I thought if I do come back, I won't mind staying here. It's really nice & cosy. I even went inside & talked to the person in charge.
Yeah, when you have no idea what you are going to do in a foreign town, this is one good way of meeting the locals ;-)
Naturally, this may also end up to be a useful tip to future travelers. But b4 that, I've to find that business card of this place, haha... now that it's almost 4 months after the trip, it's not that easy to find the tiny card! ;-)
dive in very cold waters...
by venteeocho
Ushuaia offers the possibility to dive in its crystalline waters in the middle of a quiet and colorful landscape. This fascinating sport is a new alternative if you dare dive in this cold place with a variety of submarine sceneries.
Diving should be planned between March and December, when Ushuaia presents optimum conditions, since solar activity is not so intense and permits a visibility of more than 15 meters.
Due to the water temperature between 0 °C and 4 °C it becomes necessary to wear a dry suit that you should learn to wear before immersion for a safer and more comfortable
dive. Navigating to the islands is very pleasant, since bays never freeze and you will be accompanied by the birds and delighted by the green tones of the islands.
The shape of the mountains determine their names and makes them easily recognized
The End of the World Train!
by Sharrie
From Ushuaia, you can embark on a single journey lasting 50 mins to the Tierra Del Fuego National Park. B4 that, you've to get a taxi to the Estacion del Fin del Mundo (the End of the World station) which is about 8 km from the city center of Ushuaia. It's relatively cheap to get there. I can't remember the exact amount but it's less than US$5.
The round trip will last 1 hour 40 mins.
Southern Fueguean Railway (Ferrocarril Austral Fueguino) is the company that runs the same route as the old Convict Train did 80 years ago.
Ushuaia's history is related to the "Prison for Relapsed Felons" from year 1902 - 1947.
At the end of the train ride...

At the end of the train ride you get off and onto your waiting tour bus, I guess if you went here on your own and were not on a tour you would have to arrange for a cab to pick you up...or ride the train back.
The train and the prision
by Charlin_Baby
From La Estación del fin del Mundo, 8 km to the west of the city, there is a replica of the little train of the prisoners, which crosses one of the paths used by the prisoners (tens of years back) to supply the community of firewood. Apart from going through centenaries forests, rivers, valleys and peat beds of great beauty, the tourist could know the history of the penitentiary that has been transformed into a museum worthy to be visited.
