End Of The World & Glaciers

As the southernmost city in the world, flying to Ushuaia is an adventure in itself as you touch down in the Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire). It is a rough, desolate, often cold place next to the legendary Beagle Channel which connects the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. After arriving at your accommodation and having settled in, take a taxi (around USD 4 one way) to Ushuaia´s old airport, Aeroclub, for a great view of the whole city, bay, harbor and mountains. Having soaked up the impressive view of the City at the End of the World you can begin exploring the highlights of Ushuaia on your own. Stop off at the city’s famous welcome sign proclaiming Ushuaia to be 'at the End of the World' and what has become a very popular photo opportunity. We recommend taking time to visit the historical center of the city including the navy neighborhood, the cemetery and the Saint Christopher shipwreck that can be seen beside the promenade before passing by historical houses and places like the prison, school and police station which are all located on the way to port. After appreciating the Antarctic Explorers promenade, you can visit the End of the World Museum (visit and entrance not included and optional). Stay in the city for dinner tonight as king crab is the specialty here and is extremely delicious. With a full stomach you can take a taxi back to your hotel a catch a good night’s sleep before tomorrow’s adventure into the National Park. Meals - NULL.

It’s time to hit the road as you make your way to Calafate. Your private transfer will take you to the airport for your onward flight. If you are lucky enough to land in El Calafate on a sunny day, you will have unforgettable views of the mountains and lakes right before you land. We will take you from the tiny airport to your hotel in town. El Calafate is a nice little town in an otherwise desolate area, with one main street where most of the restaurants and shops are centered, and a few streets leading off of it. Start by getting your bearings by strolling around town and maybe pick out one of the local restaurants for lunch or dinner. It is often cold and windy here, so the lamb racks in the windows of restaurants, the lit fireplaces and the view of other travelers sipping from their wine glasses will be sure to tempt you inside. If you have a full afternoon available and feel like some fresh air and a walk, then head down to the bottom end of town to the Laguna Nimez Nature Reserve. You have to pay a small entrance fee but there is a beautiful circuit taking you through shrub-lands and wetlands and down to the lake's edge. You'll see all sorts of unusual birdlife down there, and if you aren’t a seasoned bird watcher, you can always borrow a bird guidebook from the nature reserve office to help spot the different species of bird. In the evening just relax, enjoy dinner and get a good night's rest as tomorrow you'll be visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier! Meals - Breakfast.
