Ushuaia Discover the Last City Before Antarctica

How did an island of sea hunters become a prison and later Argentina’s southern hub? Why did native people live in the cold without clothes? Where is the real “Lighthouse at the End of the World”from Jules Verne’s novel? How do you build a house the Fuegian way? We’ll guide you through the history of Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia, showing the city through local eyes. Discover the Yaghan and Selknam peoples, the role of Charles Darwin, the Argentine navy’s arrival, a Fuegian girl taken to 19th-century London, and why the city now has over 300 murals. Perfect for active travelers who want more than postcard views, curious explorers, photography and art lovers, families, and anyone eager to learn through adventure. We’ll walk outdoors, so dress warmly. The tour can focus on your interests or be fully private. The tour is led by me or my wife, Vika.
