'El fin del mundo' is what they call it, and stepping foot
in the world's most southerly town certainly makes you feel
like you're at the edge of the world. On Argentina's southern-most
tip, Ushuaia's setting is simply spectacular: if you look
back at it from the green waters of the Beagle Channel,
as Darwin would have done in 1832, you'll see rows of brightly
coloured houses set against a dramatic backdrop of jagged
mountains - and you'll know that if you keep going south,
there is nothing but the vast waters, ice sheets and resilient
penguins of the Antarctic. For many people Ushuaia is the
gateway to the Tierra del Fuego National Park, a geographical
paradise of forests, lakes, mountains and marine life, with
infinite possibilities for adventure tourism. Coming to
the end of the world may be a bit nippy, but it's one experience
not to be missed.
