Description |
|
| Departing from the Civic Park of Ushuaia, where the Tourist Quay is, we travel by bus on national route 3 toward the “Estación del Fin del Mundo” (Station at the End of the World), located 8 Km west from town. From there, by means of a replica of the “Prisoners Train”, visitors will travel the same route travelled decades ago by the prisoners to provide the town with wood. Hundred-year-old forests, rivers, sphagnum bogs, and the replica of an Indian settlement will appear before the travellers’ eyes. The ride also has a stop a the Macarena cascade; and in its last stretch the train enters the National Park Tierra del Fuego, ending at the park station. This is the ideal excursion to get to know the National Park.

Jailhouse and Navy Museum |
|
| The museum is located on the streets Yaganes and Gob. Paz, only 200 meters away from downtown Ushuaia, in the Navy Base. The jailhouse has been preserved in the same condition it was when it still had prisoners over 70 years ago. During our visit, we will walk along its corridors, when of which reflects the conditions in which the prisoners once lived. The history of this jailhouse is closely connected to the city of Ushuaia, since the idea had been to colonize the city by settling jailhouses in it. The prisoners that were sent here worked in some of its 30 workshops, manufacturing items for the city, or they worked outside the jailhouse building streets, bridges and constructing buildings, apart from the exploitation of the forests. In the Navy Museum there is an exposition displaying ship models that show the development of ship making in the last 5 centuries, among which you can see the Trinidad de Hernando de Magallanes (Magellan) and a scale model of the original famous Lighthouse at the End of the World.
