End of the line

National Park Station

Estación Parque Nacional · PN Tierra del Fuego

End of the World Post Office

Unidad Postal Fin del Mundo · Bahía Ensenada

The red hut on the jetty where end-of-the-world passports were stamped for decades.

Laguna Negra

Laguna Negra · PN Tierra del Fuego

Tea-coloured water from the peat bog's tannins, with a boardwalk over the sphagnum moss.

Beaver Dam Lookout

Lago Acigami (Roca)

Lago Roca / Acigami · PN Tierra del Fuego

Sendero Laguna Esmeralda · Ruta 3 km 18

Ushuaia's most sought-after hike: 9 km round trip to a fluorescent-green meltwater lagoon.

Tip: It is 220 m of climb and 4-5 hours, but the climb is not the problem: in October the mid-trail peat bog is knee-deep mud and there is snow at the end. Waterproof boots or skip it.

Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse

Faro Les Éclaireurs · Canal Beagle

The striped tower on a bare islet, raised in 1920 and always unmanned.

Tip: It is not Jules Verne's 'lighthouse at the end of the world' — that one is San Juan de Salvamento on Isla de los Estados, 200 km away. And nobody lands here: catamarans circle it and turn back.
