Carrefour: a great supermarket in Rio Grande

by globetrott

Carrefour is a well known supermarket-chain in France and the rest of europe and after my 10 days in Ushuaia with just local food plus 22 days of cruising in Antarctica with quite a limited culinary display we were really glad to find a real carrefour-market in Rio Grande and it was a large market like in Europe including lots of parkingspaces. My favorite was fresh baguette and some french cheese, that we ate in the car, so we would not waste any time in a restaurant waiting for the waiter... b.t.w.the baguette was 1,28 SRG $ (= 0,40 euros), cheese, ham and fruits are also less expensive than in Europe

Norte in Ushuaia, the World's Southernmost City!: The Most Ironicly Named Grocery Store in the World

by AKtravelers

"Norte of WHAT?" we kept asking. In Spanish, "norte" means "north", which is a bizarre name for a grocery store in Ushuaia, the southern most city in the world. Still, it is north of Antarctica and Puerto Williams, Chile, so it's not completely irrational -- just 99% irrational. We bought our camping provisions at Norte, where the service was friendly and they take credit cards. If you're interested, Norte sells more than groceries -- I saw appliances and other big ticket items on display.
