Discover the unknown Tierra del Fuego for yourself
7-day rental car tour from/to Ushuaia
This is the perfect prelude to an expedition to Antarctica or through the fjord world of Patagonia.
Tierra del Fuego is literally at the end of the world. Beyond it lies only Antarctica. Argentina and Chile share the island at the southern tip of South America, beyond the Chilean fjords and the Beagle Channel. In the Patagonian summer, temperatures here are just above freezing.
If you enjoy unspoiled nature and varied hikes, this is the place for you. With your own rental car, you can explore the many beaches, lagoons, mountains, and national parks at your own pace. At Bahia Inútil, you can even visit the only king penguin colony outside of Antarctica.
Pure relaxation and the perfect preparation for the expedition.
