Half-Day Tierra del Fuego National Park Private Tour from Ushuaia
Select participants and date
The van pulls away from Ushuaia before the wind has a chance to fully wake. Windows fog at the edges, and the first taste of salt and peat rides in on the breeze—an immediate reminder that this is where the mountains meet the sea. Within twenty minutes the city’s steeples and cruise-ship silhouettes fall behind and the landscape tightens: low lenga forests, moss-slick rocks, and a coastline that keeps changing its mind between pebbled shore and marsh.

Adventure Tips
Dress in layers
Coastal Patagonian weather can swing quickly—bring a warm mid-layer and a waterproof shell to stay comfortable during coastal winds.
Sturdy footwear
Trails include boardwalks, mud and rocky shorelines—light hiking shoes with good tread are recommended.
Bring binoculars
Birdlife and distant guanaco or fox sightings are common; binoculars make short wildlife encounters rewarding.
Train optional—plan timing
The End of the World Train is not included; if you intend to ride, expect an extra hour and book seats in advance during summer.

History
The park’s landscape bears traces of 19th-century penal settlements and the Ferrocarril Austral Fueguino, a railway built in part by prison labor; much older are the coastal traditions of the Yámana people.
Conservation
Invasive beavers and past logging have reshaped habitats—current conservation focuses on controlling invasives and restoring peatlands and native forest.
