In the end we had to restrict our purchases to those businesses that did take plastic, and later to withdraw money from the ATM on the cruise ship which charged a hefty premium for the privilege. In researching this tip I found a website (see below) that says: "In Ushuaia banks open from Monday to Friday, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. During weekends the traveler can turn to cash machines/ATMs." So maybe the situation has changed since our visit four years ago - but maybe not. So best be prepared and take some cash if you can!

When cruising the Antarctic, choose the right size of your ship ! There is a law that states, that not more than just 100 passengers of any cruiseship are allowed to go ashore at any place at the same time. And therefore it makes sense to sail on a ship with just 100 passengers or even less.
M/S Fram e.g. has a capacity of 350 passengers and the excursions of every day will have to be devided into 4 turns to go ashore. And then it could be that there is good weather for the first turn but storm or fog for the other 3 turns... Leave a Comment

We phoned ahead to book accommodation at this hostel, they said it was fine but please could we send an email to confirm. We sent an email, all seemed well so off we headed to Ushuaia.
On arrival at the airport (yeah I know, we cheated and flew!) we noticed that the hostel advertised a free taxi transfer. Fantastic we thought, and set off in a cab to the hostel.
To cut a long story short the lady we dealt with at the hostel was very off-hand with us. No she hadn't received a reservation, no she wouldn't check her email. She did have vacancies, but although she would have made about $20 a night from us flatly refused to pay our cab fare, which the hostel claimed to do in it's adverts!
By this point we'd had enough of her rude and surly attitude and our lovely cab driver took us to the guesthouse of a friend of his which was spottlessly clean with a nice friendly owner.
Sometimes the cabbies do know where to find the best accommodation!
