What you’ll see on the Ushuaia city tour
- La Misión neighborhood: the site of the native peoples and the first missionaries, with archaeological remains and views of the Andes and the Beagle Channel.
- The classic photo spots: the old airport, the sign with the letters of Ushuaia and the port, where the Beagle Channel boat trips set sail.
- The story of the prison: you pass by the Maritime and Prison Museum, housed in the building of Ushuaia’s former prison.
- The Martial Glacier from above: you head up to Las Hayas viewpoint and the base of the Martial Glacier Reserve, with panoramic views of the channel and the glacier, up to the historic Tea House area.
Who it’s for
It is ideal for your first day: you get your bearings and then explore on your own knowing what you are looking at. And if you only have a few hours in Ushuaia, you cover the key things to see in town without thinking about how to get around. It is a tour by vehicle, with photo stops: just bring a warm layer to enjoy the outdoor stops.
At about 2 hours, it fits into the same day as the classic Tierra del Fuego National Park tour or the Beagle Channel cruise to Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse.
