    Ushuaia is a good place to buy your Antarctic mementos, as it’s much cheaper than the cruise ships. We saw soft toy penguins in droves, but I didn’t buy one, cute as they were, because I’d resolved only to buy if I could find a match to one of the species we’d seen on our trip, i.e. gentoo or chinstrap. Unfortunately almost all the ones in the shops were of emperor penguins, and although these are very striking birds I don’t think they’re so cute! We did however buy a small wooden carving of a penguin and also some jewellery.

    This is also a good place to buy bad weather gear, unsurprisingly – but if you’re shopping before heading out on an Antarctic trip do check whether, as in our case, a warm parka is provided as you may not need to buy one at all.

    The street of San Martin is full of souvenirs and handcrafts shops. After strolling the street a few times back and forth, we bought most of our staff in this store. Somehow it seemed more genuine and less factory made.

    The streets are lined with one shop after another. You can book a tour, buy gifts, maps, books, exchange money, or buy some warm clothing.
    Anything that you want you can find downtown, except we never did find a grocery store. Someone said to look for a Coca-Cola
    sign?

    Ushuaia is a touristic place, so there is one gift shop afther another one; these shops usually sell mass-production articles. You can find "real" handicrafts at the main street (San Martín), where the handicrfatmen install their little tables with their crafts.

    Ushuaia es un lugar turístico, por lo que hay una tienda de recuerdos tras otra; estos comercios normalmente venden artículos producidos en serie. Pueden encontrar artesanías "reales" en la calle principal (San Martín), en donde los artesanos instalan mesitas con sus productos.

    All kind of crafts made of wood, wool, metal, stones...

    As you walk down San Martin, you will smell, from time to time through the open doors of the shop, the addicting smell of chocolate. If you are not a calorie freak, take a bite. It's great. Buy some as presents to take home. Friends will love it, and probably will enjoy it more then some small tourist sunnier.

    I love the Chocolate coverd almonds

    Selecting a shopping area in Ushuaia is rather easy, depending on your wishes, there is only ONE main shopping street, Avenida San Martin (who could guess?).
    Artisanal products, winter clothes, souvenirs and mineral juwelry, you will find it here.
    Even a deparment store, "La Anonima" is located at the end of the Avenida, direction Panomaric view

    Artisanal products and souvenirs, bread, sandwiches, meat and local Argentinian wine, or local JC from Liége hard stuff !
    Strange you can't find fresh fish ?!

    Cash, the locals pay often with "LA"credit cards like we do in Europe

    • Seemingly half of the businesses in Ushuaia have signs that say, "Fin del Mundo," boasting that their coffee shop, restaurant, internet cafe, barber shop, etc., is the
    southern most establishment of such sort in the world.

    Usually cheap but not as interesting as things that dont read like that.

    This shop is great for buying maps, postcards, books about Patagonia and Antactica, woolen and synthetic clothing to keep you warm plus touristy stuff such as tea-towels. There is a huge range of t-shirts and sweatshirts.
    The staff are helpful and they speak some English.

    Well, the historical maps were expensive but the other maps were good value.
    The woolens were great value.
