'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.
Cactus offers a range of Spanish courses in Ushuaia, in a well-established school that is sister school to others within Argentina, making a multi-destination course an attractive option and a great way to see more of this vast and impressive country. Accommodation can be arranged for you in Ushuaia with local homestays, offering maximum immersion in the language and culture, and the school arranges a number of activities and excursions which make it easy to meet other students and explore the area.
