Details About Ushuaia
Destinations » South America » South American Coast » Ushuaia
The southernmost town in the world, Ushuaia sits at the edge of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina´s "land of fire," so named because of the fires lit by Indians to warn of the arrival of Magellan´s ship. Surrounded by a countryside of snowcapped mountains, dense forest, rivers and waterfalls, the town has a rugged, frontier spirit. Nearby Tierran del Fuego National Park is a wildlife sanctuary.
Attractions
Savor the spectacular beauty of Tierra del Fuego’s lakes, lush forests, flora and fauna and soaring mountains by train, 4-wheel drive, on horseback, or on an off-road forest trek. Enjoy the expansive views from Garibaldi Pass and watch for sea lions and albatross along the Beagle Channel.
Shopping
San Martin is Ushuaia's busy shopping street. Boots, sheepskin jackets, outdoor wear and duty-free luxury items, including French perfumes and cosmetics attract shoppers, especially from mainland Argentina. Between the streets 9 de Julio and 25 de Mayo runs a pedestrian mall with additional shopping opportunities. The majority of the shops are open throughout the day.
Currency
The local currency is the peso.
