Argentina – Ushuaia
Check out our Ushuaia City Vibe Video
Ushuaia is the southernmost city of Argentina Patagonia and the southernmost city in the world. We arrived in Ushuaia from Antarctica tackling the ‘drake shake’ – the notorious Drake Passage after being at sea for 2 weeks from Montevideo in Uruguay. Ushuaia is the capital of Tierra del Fuego. Ushuaia is a busy port town and relies heavily on tourism.
Ushuaia is nestled in between the snowcapped Patagonia mountains of Tierra del Fuego.

Top Things to Do in Ushuaia
Hike to Laguna Esmeralda – top sight in Patagonia
Check out our Photo Journal of our Hike to Laguna Esmeralda
A 2-hour hike in each direction from Ushuaia. A shuttle bus can be organised, or you can organise a taxi. The shuttle bus is the cheaper option at ARS600 – USD10.00 per person.
The starting point is 20 minutes northeast of Ushuaia.
Distance: 9.7km
Maximum elevation gain: 158m
Intermediate trek – can be challenging after rain. We would recommend boots or sturdy shoes as the trail can be muddy and the peat bog is hard to traverse after rain. You may be able to see a lot of beaver activity, although on the day we did not see them but we did see a fox run closely past us.
As you arrive at the Lake the Ojos del Albino glacier is in full view and it is stunning. It can be windy and cold on the hike. We completed it in November and it was freezing.

What To Do in Punta Arenas
Cementerio Municipal
Our first impression when we visited was how like the Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires it was. The impressive mausoleums of the wealthy families in Punta Arenas certainly impress those who visit.
There are three entrances: the main entrance is on Bulnes Avenue, and two other entrances are in Francisco Bilbao and Angamos streets spread over 4 hectares. CNN has stated it is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world.
Address: Avenida Bulnes 29 between the streets of Francisco Bilbao and Angamos Punta Arenas
Mirador Cerro De La Cruz
There are a number of steps to climb to arrive at Cerro de La Cruz but it is worth it for the view, even on an overcast day.
Plaza Munoz Gamero (aka Plaza de Armas)
The main square in Punta Arenas is lined with beautiful cypress and birch trees. There is a statue of the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan which the Straits of Magellan were named after. The park is popular with the locals for exercise classes, artisan markets and colonial houses such as Palacio Sara Braun, who was the wife of a wealthy sheep farmer.

Things to do in Puerto Natales
One of the top things to do in Puerto Natales is a day tour of Torres del Paine. Our accommodation at Hostal Nicos II is also a travel agent and they organised the tour for us.
The bus tour includes visits to:
- National Monument – Milodon Cave
- Lake Sarmiento
- Lake Nordenskjold
- Lake Pehoe
- Salto Grande Waterfall
- Grey Lake
There is a fee to pay to enter the National Park – pricing currently is CLP25,000 (USD35.00) – the entrance fee must be paid in CASH.
Along the way, we encountered guanacos, foxes and an armadillo at Lake Pehoe.
The Milodon Cave was declared a National Monument in 1993 and it is located 24 km north of Puerto Natales. For more information on the history of the cave click here.
There is an entrance fee to pay CLP8200 (USD12.00)
Some of the travellers on the bus stayed on board and did not visit but we would recommend that you should, it is worth it.
After Nordenskjold Lake the bus travels to Salto Grande Waterfall on the Paine River. Salto Grande means ‘large waterfall’ and it is the largest in the Torres del Paine National Park. The bus drops you at the car park and you walk the path towards the falls. What you first notice is the power of the waterfall. The day was very blustery and at times it was hard to stand firm against the battering winds. We would recommend wrapping up warm and ensuring you have hats and gloves and good walking shoes. We visited in the month of November.
One of the prettiest lakes in the Torres del Paine National Park is Lake Pehoe. The lunch stop is at the campsite at Lake Pehoe with beautiful views over the lake. Beware, don’t step on the armadillos that love to visit you whilst having your lunch which you can buy from the small shop.
On the return to Puerto Natales, you visit Grey Lake where you can walk along the shoreline.

We booked through local tour operator Mundo Austral Tours which you will find in the main street of El Calafate at Av. Libertador 1080 1ºP El Calafate.

After being collected from your accommodation you drive on Route 11 to Los Glaciers National Park to Puerto Punta Bandera where you will embark on a catamaran. Sailing the cold waters of Lake Argentino you head towards Upsala Glacier across the Boca del Diablo, the narrowest part of the lake. From there you sail up the Upsala and Spegazzini Channels where you can see the glaciers of Upsala and Spegazzini.
The Upsala Glacier is the largest in South America measuring 37 miles long and 230 feet high. It is 3 times as large as the Perito Moreno Glacier. The Upsala Glacier has retreated 50 sq km in less than 30 years.
We have to keep our distance as the glacier tends to collapse once or twice a month.The Spegazzini Glacier is the highest at 400 feet above sea level.
On cloudy days the blue colour of the glacier is stronger than it is on a sunny day.
Duration: 5 hours
Travel Photography tip when photographing icebergs:
The Captain informed us to force the flash when taking photos in front of icebergs as it is like taking photos with the sun in front.
Tour to Perito Moreno Glacier – boat tour and balcony walk
You are collected from your accommodation for the 80 km road trip from El Calafate, to Los Glaciares National Park and the Perito Moreno glacier.
Perito Moreno is located in the heart of the Andean Patagonian forest, surrounded by ancient lenga, ñires and sour cherry trees, it is home to grey and red foxes, eagles and condors.
The 1-hour cruise takes you as close to the Perito Moreno glacier as possible. You may be lucky to view parts of the glacier collapsing from the cruise ship or when you walk the 4 km of balconies after the cruise.
