One of the main reasons to visit Ushuaia is as the starting point for an Antarctic cruise. These all leave from the port on the southern side of town. We enjoyed strolling around here and checking out all the other ships – and inevitably comparing them with our own! There’s also a small café, and a bizarre giant penguin which makes for a fun photo or two (see my 3rd photo).
For anyone not taking a cruise however, you need to be aware that you’ll only be able to walk so far along the pier before being asked to show a card to indicate that you’re a passenger on one of the ships, and without this evidence you won’t be allowed to proceed.

 Love at first sight by andal13
El avión hizo su última escala en Río Gallegos; desde allí, el cielo estuvo nublado, por lo que no podía ver nada; estaba un poco apenada, porque todo el mundo me había dicho que la vista de Ushuaia desde el aire era espectacular. El avión estaba aterrizando cuando, de pronto, las nubes se abrieron y toda la magnificencia de Ushuaia apareció... Leave a Comment

 Yamana Museum by andal13
When the Europeans arrived, they brough unknown diseases and changed the Yamanas way of life; in a few years, these natives disappeared.
Tierra del Fuego fue habitada hace 11.000 años, pero los nativos llegaron al Canal de Beagle apenas hace 7.000 años. Cuatro etnias poblaron esta zona: Kawesar (o Alakaluf), Yamana, Selk'Nam (u Ona) y Haush. Los yámanas habitaron el lugar en donde ahora se encuentra Ushuaia y el Parque Nacional; yámana significa "ser humano", "estar vivo". Estos nativos eran nómadas, construian canoas con corteza de árboles, y eran buenos pescadores y cazadores, y se alimentaban de mejillones, peces, focas, hongos, frutos, aves. Ellos vivían desnudos, y cubrían sus cuerpos con grasa; el fuego siempre ardía en sus refugios y canoas.
Cuando los europeos llegaron, trajeron enfermedades desconocidas y cambiaron el estilo de vida de los yámanas; en unos pocos años, estos nativos desaparecieron. Leave a Comment

 Penitentiary by andal13
Yo había leído mucho acerca del Presidio, pero visitar este lugar histórico realmente me impactó... Enorme, desolado, oscuro, frío... Una experiencia conmovedora. Leave a Comment

On your first day in Ushuaia, visit the two main museums in the city, "Museo del Presidio" (Jail's Museum) and "Museo del Fin del Mundo" (End of world Museum). If you can visit only one, choose the first.
It's very important to do it, because you'll understand everything you'll see and visit during the following days of your visit. Leave a Comment

 Ushuaia by tini58de
In the architecture of the city you will see a combination of the original housings made of wood and iron sheet and on the other side modern buildings from around 1980. From 1902 up to 1947 Ushuaia was headquarters of the famous Prison of Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, where the most dangerous criminals were sent. This prison is now a wonderful museum! Leave a Comment
