Ushuaia: the End of the World & Antarctic Cruise Services
National park, channel cruises and ground logistics around your Antarctic voyage
Ushuaia sits between the mountains and the Beagle Channel. Here you can walk through Tierra del Fuego National Park, ride the End of the World Train and sail out to see sea lions and lighthouses. For Antarctic travellers, we handle the ground logistics before and after the cruise — airport reception, hotel, port transfers and luggage — so you can focus on the voyage.
The essentials
- The airport code is USH (Malvinas Argentinas International Airport), with flights from Buenos Aires and El Calafate.
- Plan 2–3 nights to visit the national park and sail the channel.
- It can be cold and windy even in summer: bring windproof, warm layers.
- If you are joining an Antarctic cruise, arrive at least one day early (follow your cruise line's recommendation).
