Tierra del Fuego Tours & Tickets

Tierra del Fuego is the southernmost city in the world, located at the tip of South America where the Atlantic and Pacific oceans meet.

The name 'Land of Fire' comes from the fires lit by the indigenous Yámana people that Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan spotted from his ships in 1520.

Ushuaia, the capital, sits at 54°S latitude and experiences nearly 17 hours of daylight in summer (December) but only 7 hours in winter (June).

The region was home to the Yámana, Selk'nam, and Haush indigenous peoples who survived in one of Earth's harshest climates for thousands of years.

Tierra del Fuego National Park protects the only Argentine national park that reaches the sea, featuring pristine forests, mountains, and wildlife.

The region's remoteness made it a notorious penal colony; a former prison in Ushuaia is now a major museum attracting thousands of visitors annually.
