>>TRAVEL USHUAIA - Argentina

Ushuaia, the most southern city in the world, is the capital of the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antártida and Islas del Atlántico Sur. Located by the Beagle Channel and surrounded by the Martial Mounts to the West, and the Olivia and Cinco Hermanos Mounts to the East, it offers a unique landscape in Argentina of a combination of mountains, sea, glaciers, and woods.

The capricious topography has given origin to a picturesque city that combines colors and slopes with the shape of the Andes as a background. You can appreciate the contrasts between the architecture of the modern buildings and the wooden houses with tin hip roofs, which make it so peculiar. The weather in Ushuaia is not as severe as you might think, since the mountains and the sea make it milder. It is very changeable, though, and it can change from one day to the other, or even within the same day. Thus it is highly recommended to take an extra coat that you can either put on or take off. Due to nearness to the South Pole, in summer there are approximately 18 hours of day light, while in winter there are only seven or eight. In winter the snowed landscape makes it change its appearance, and the days are usually, bright and clear.
