Ushuaia: The Southernmost City In The World

Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world and it’s a common stop for tourists on their way to Antarctica. It is located on the shores of the Beagle Channel, at the southern tip of  Tierra del Fuego Island, and surrounded by the Martial Mounts. Its superlative location allows you to enjoy sea, mountains and forests at the same time.

Today, Ushuaia is a tourist city with international airport and all necessary services. It is also a cruise port and the closest deepwater port to the Antarctic. But it’s still unlike any other place in the world.
