About Tierra del Fuego National Park

Many of us have often been faced with very difficult choices in life. One of them is the choice between going to the park or the beach! While we may not be able to assist with other pressing questions of life, we can help with the latter. When in doubt over the park or beach, choose both! The Tierra del Fuego National Park is the only one of its kind in the country that has a marine coast as well.

This national park comes complete with snow-clad mountains, dense vegetation, thriving wildlife, and flowing rivers. It is an extremely popular tourist attraction, and rightfully so! In order to conserve nature and wildlife, only certain regions of the national park are accessible to visitors.

It is located 20 km outside of the city of Ushuaia. You can either go to the island to relax or visit the beautiful Black Lagoon. Another place that you can go to is Los Castores to see the beavers and make friends with them.

Must See

  • Beautiful lakes with black necked swan. 
  • Sea lions are visible at the beagle channel. 
  • Great view of flowers on the shores of the lake at lago Fagnano.

How to reach

It is 20km from the city center, which costs around 700pesos and takes 1 hour by bus along the national route 3.

Tips

  • Hire a bus guide to avoid confusions inside the park.
  • Have a jacket as there will be low temperature.
  • Beware of the bumpy and dirty roads if you hire a car.
  • Take trekking shoes with you for the long walk along the shore. 
  • Since there are several hiking trails, wear comfortable shoes. 
  • It is recommended not to visit during winter, as it gets too cold and you can spend almost half a day here in good weather. 
  • Public transport is not very punctual here. 
  • There is also a coffee shop that you can visit.
