Board the historic End of the World Train and follow the Pipo River into Tierra del Fuego National Park. In a half-day you’ll cross peat bogs, photograph Lake Acigami and stand at Lapataia Bay—where road ends and the Beagle Channel begins.

You step into a low-slung carriage as the little locomotive exhales and the world outside rearranges itself: a ribbon of track, a braided river, trunks of lenga trees leaning like oars into a cold wind. The Ferrocarril Austral Fueguino—marketed to tourists as the End of the World Train—rattles along the same embankment carved a century ago to move prisoners and supplies from Ushuaia into the surrounding forests. The rhythm of wheels and the rush of wind set the cadence for what follows: three hours in a landscape that still feels on the edge of everything.

History
Ushuaia’s penal colony and the rail lines built in the late 19th–early 20th centuries shaped the early access routes into the park; the train follows parts of that historic corridor.
Conservation
Tierra del Fuego’s peat bogs store carbon and are sensitive to foot traffic—use boardwalks, pack out waste, and support park fees that fund habitat protection.
