The plane ✈️ landed on time at Ushuaia airport at seven in the morning, with light rain 🌧️ outside the window, and the whole city was shrouded in dark clouds After collecting the luggage 🧳, contact the staff at the TAXi counter at the airport, he will take you outside the airport and arrange a taxi 🚕 for you. The price of taxis in Ushuaia is about the same as UBER in Buenos Aires. The airport is very close to the city center, about a 20-minute drive. After arriving at the hotel to store your luggage, start the mode of walking in the rain Ushuaia is a very quiet and beautiful small town. Its beauty does not come from tourist attractions or landmark buildings, but is inherent, and can be felt anytime, anywhere. There are many port towns in the world, and there are also many towns under the snow mountains 🏔️, but Ushuaia combines both. Under the surrounding snow mountains, colorful 🌈 houses are built along the mountain, extending all the way to the port. The town has a large drop, and there can be tens of meters of altitude within just three or five blocks By noon, the rain gradually stopped, and the small town washed by the rain 🌧️ was exceptionally clean, the ground was spotless, and the fresh air was refreshing. We started climbing from the seaside to the mountainside, and then returned to the seaside from the mountainside, wandering aimlessly, squandering our time to our heart's content, until the sunset, admiring the different postures of the small town in the changing light and shadow, watching the lights of the cruise ships 🛳️ heading to Antarctica light up. This is probably what the fireworks at the end of the world look like, this is probably the correct way to open Ushuaia Of course, it's not that Ushuaia has no attractions. Here, you can enjoy hiking in Tierra del Fuego National Park ⛲️, or take a boat 🚢 to the southernmost lighthouse to see sea lions, seals 🦭, and penguins 🐧. 1️⃣ For Tierra del Fuego, you can choose to join a tour group, or you can buy round-trip bus tickets at the bus station to visit on your own. The group tour takes about half a day. I personally recommend visiting on your own, with ample time to fully experience different sceneries. The ticket ➕ bus fare is about 300 RMB 2️⃣ Take a boat out to sea, there is a row of beautiful little wooden houses at the dock, where they sell boat tickets for going out to sea. There are more lighthouses and sea lions and seals to see, and the ticket price is more than 300 RMB, taking about 2 hours 3️⃣ I will write about these two trips in detail soon Additionally, near the dock, I also saw a blue double-decker sightseeing bus 🚌 that can explore the scenery of the small town from a further distance and more in-depth Exchange rate 💰 Ushuaia has the worst exchange rate of the trip, as of April 2024, 1 US dollar is exchanged for 980 in Buenos Aires, while here it is 1 US dollar for 900 Shopping 🛍️ Shopping in Ushuaia is considered cheap in Argentina. The same souvenirs cost twice as much in El Calafate as they do here Dining 🍴 1️⃣ Perhaps due to the season, I went to the famous Captain's Restaurant twice but did not find whole king crabs 🦀. The king crab at the Chinese restaurant Bamboo was pitifully small and quite expensive 2️⃣ There is an Argentine grilled lamb chop 🍖 restaurant by the sea that I highly recommend. Three whole lamb racks are roasted over an open fire, cut as they cook, and the taste is simply fantastic Accommodation 🏠 Most of the hotels in Ushuaia are concentrated near the seaside, which is very convenient for travel, while most of the homestays are concentrated on the mountainside. Although you need to climb a bit, the view is good, overlooking the harbor, and you can choose according to personal preference Security 👮 Ushuaia has very good security. At eleven or twelve o'clock at night, the streets are still bustling with people, and there is no need to worry about theft or robbery

💁‍♀️Foreword: In "Happy Together", there is a lighthouse that is very lonely and peaceful. People who have lost love come here to leave their unhappiness behind and start anew. This is the lighthouse at the end of the world, located in Ushuaia. In the beginning of 2023, my husband and I embarked on a 14-day journey to Argentina, with Ushuaia as the final destination. The lighthouse, of course, became a must-visit spot that we had been longing for. This trip, we have gained many beautiful sights. We are sharing our guide with everyone. If you are also planning to come, please feel free to check out this guide. Travel date: January 24th, 2023. Location: Ushuaia Method: Join the Beagle Channel Cruise Tour and take a cruise to Sea Lion Island, the farthest lighthouse, and Penguin Island (without landing). Price: Approximately 12,000 pesos per person. Duration: 3.5 hours (Small Loop Line) Suggestion: 1. Prepare motion sickness medicine, I was careless... 2. It's best to prepare rainproof jackets and pants for the mountains. There is a place where you can take a simple 20-minute hike for photos, but the weather in Ushuaia is very unpredictable, suddenly raining and suddenly stopping. We experienced a storm with strong winds and heavy rain during the hike, but fortunately we wore windbreakers and didn't suffer too much. 3. Choose a cruise from a big company, both quality and experience are guaranteed. If you don't know which one to choose, you can go to the local tourist center for inquiries. 4. If you still want to visit Penguin Island and have close contact with penguins, then this method is not suitable!

In Ushuaia want to see the lighthouse at the end of the world, this half-day tour is the best choice. Because the lighthouse is not bordered by land, it is necessary to take the boat out to sea. The summer has passed, and the original red, yellow and blue travel routes have been shortened to one red, but it is enough for me who just want to see the lighthouse. 1500 pesos a person, 3 and a half hours, take you around a large circle at sea, halfway in the middle of a small island for half an hour. It is recommended to board the deck directly after boarding, and to the right, because the scenery on the right will look better than the left side. There are many reefs on the sea, and groups of penguins and sea lions lay lazily on the sun. The boat will be parked close to the reef, making it easy for tourists to take pictures and observe. The lighthouse is also built on a reef, surrounded by densely packed penguins. At this time, the boat will stay here for about ten minutes, blowing the sea breeze, listening to the sound of seagulls and penguins, thinking that you are at the end of the world, then It feels really wonderful.

In September 2017, I finally came to the end of the world. This is the last lighthouse in the south of South America. It is the South Pole in the past. Suddenly I want to go home, although I am far away from them, but at the moment. My feeling is very close. If Shanghai is the opposite of China, the time difference is 11 hours, the season is just the opposite. The distance between the two points is 20,000 kilometers, which is equal to the half circle of the earth. That is to say, if it is not in the sky, with China as the coordinate, Argentina is the place of life. The farthest place you can go to; that is to say, when you want to go back to Argentina, every step you take is the way home.
