Introduction

Tierra del Fuego National Park lies west of Ushuaia at the southern tip of the Argentine mainland—the only national park in South America combining mountains, forest, lakes, peat bogs and coast. It is the southern end of the Pan-American Highway (where Route 3 stops), with the tranquil, picturesque Lapataia Bay, Lake Roca mirroring snow peaks, and subantarctic beech forests alive with birds and beavers. The park's trails range from easy coastline walks to long forest treks, and the End of the World Train reaches the park—a must-visit near Ushuaia for the wild 'end of the world'.
