Ushuaia is the capital city of the province of Tierra del Fuego. Its strong ties with the past are evident in its urban layout and its architectonic design. The landscape is as attractive as the city, consequence of an agreement made between Nature and the End of the World: sea, forests, glaciers and mountains in one very same island.

It offers a wide variety of activities, from channel sailing to cruises that reach the Antarctica. Indian groups such as Onas and Yamanas inhabited the region.

Jail of Recidivists - Ushuaia
The legendary jail was built in Ushuaia between 1902 and 1920. Until it was finally closed in 1947, the jail servedays a vital point in the development of the city. Many notorious criminals were imprisoned there, like the anarchist Simon Radowitsky, the swindler Juan Dufour -a man who had escaped from la Isla del Diablo (¨The Island of the Devil¨) and others.

The train at the End of the World - Ushuaia
The train at the End of the World, or Austral Fueguino Railroad, is the first ecological train of the world since it reaches and enters a part of the National Park that had been hidden for a long time.

The station is located 3 km away from Usuhaia. The train is made up of steam locomotives and comfortable wagons. The train follows Pipo River and takes 1 hour and 40 minutes to reach its destination point. After a gentle bend the train goes up to reach La Macarena Station. Then it goes on, crossing the old sawmill. When it leaves the river it enters a thick forest.

Originally, the train was used by the prisoners to cut wood and take it from the actual territory of National Park to the city.
