Ushuaia Cruise Guide
Because of Ushuaia's remote location it has a fascinating local history, which can be discovered in the local museums, and a wealth of wildlife and natural landscapes to be explored in the surrounding mountains, beaches and islands.
Sightseeing
No visit to Ushuaia is complete without a trip to the Museo del Presidio, Ushuaia's ex-prison where wax models of the prison's most dangerous and infamous inmates sit in their cells. A boat trip on the Beagle Channel is a great way to get close to penguins, cormorants, seals and the various other flora and fauna of this chilly destination.
Highlights
• Paseo Centenario (incredible panoramic views)
• The End of the World Museum
• Penguin and seal colonies
• El Tren del Fin del Mundo (steam train)
• Harberton Estancia (old English farm and marine museum)
• Tierra del Fuego National Park
