Getting to Ushuaia

I was coming from a quick night in Buenos Aires, and now I was finally starting my journey into the Argentinian Patagonia.

I had taken an Aerolineas Argentinas flight from AEP Aeroparque, very early in the morning, full of highscholers, probably on the way to study the southernmost city of the entire world.

I always wanted to visit Ushuaia. It looks so eerie and distant from everything else. I might even go back to board an Explorer cruise into the Antarctica, in the future.

The airport looked kinda far from the city, but it was very beautiful and it seemed very recently

There it was, Ushuaia, and I was about to explore it.

An early morning

I arrived too early into Ushuaia, in this spring day. I could not check in yet, so I left my suitcase in this cozy hotel: Posada del Fin del Mundo.

The hotel was at the top of a hill but not too far from the rest of the city.

Since my tour was not going to be until a few hours, I got some brunch in Tante Sara Pastelería, a very recommended spot in this city.

Exploring Ushuaia

I needed to walk off this big meal, so I started going up and down these hills.

And ended up by the bay with a beautiful view of the snow-capped mountains.

The views were so surreal, I could not believe I was finally here.

And something very present and that unites the Argentinians is the commemoration of the Malvinas war.

Tierra del Fuego National Park

The train would take us deep into this park, but then a bus would bring us even deeper.
