You step off the ship into a cold, clear light and the Beagle Channel seems to pull the town toward the horizon — a low roar of wind, gulls skimming the wake, and a guide waiting with a sign. The short drive from Ushuaia to Tierra del Fuego National Park moves quickly: coastal scrub gives way to lenga forest and open peatlands, and the air carries the sharp, mineral smell of glacial runoff.

Tierra del Fuego National Park was created in the mid-20th century to protect southern beech forests, peat bogs and coastal ecosystems near Ushuaia, an area long used by indigenous Yámana people and later maritime communities.
