Ushuaia is a charming port city that lays claim as the southernmost city in the world and is a bustling center for adventure travel. Where the Martial Mountains meet the Beagle Channel, the streets of Ushuaia traverse the steeps like terraces, emptying into the dock which serves as the gateway to Antarctica. Sometimes having the feel of a northern European port town, you're quickly reminded you're in a very special place as you pass through the smoke smelling of mutton from an open-air grill and gaze at a thousand varieties of penguin souvenirs that line the streets. Surrounding the city is an expansive wilderness. Tours from Ushuaia feature penguin colonies, sea kayaking, and cruises of the Beagle Channel and the coastal fjords to Punta Arenas, Chile. Contact our travel specialists to start planning your ideal trip with Adventure Life today!
