Saliendo de la ciudad de Ushuaia en dirección sudoeste, transitaremos por la Ruta Nacional N° 3 hacia el Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego. En los once kilómetros que separan la entrada del parque de la ciudad, realizaremos una parada cerca del Centro Hípico, desde donde se pueden apreciar excelentes vistas panorámicas del Canal Beagle, la península de Ushuaia y los archipiélagos Bridges, Willie y Les Éclaireurs. Luego de cruzar el puente del Río Pipo, junto al Golf Club Ushuaia, llegaremos a la estación del Ferrocarril Austral Fueguino, conocido como el Tren del Fin del Mundo.
The train, besides traveling along a picturesque route, tells the story of the prisoners who served their sentences in Ushuaia. In the past, it departed from the prison and reached Monte Susana, where inmates gathered materials for construction. Currently, the journey begins at the End of the World Station, located 8 kilometers from the city, and after approximately one hour, it arrives at the last station near the entrance to the National Park. If you have booked a tour in advance, guides will be waiting for you there to explore the park; otherwise, you will return by train to the main station.
Very punctual pick up. Amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and nice. The train is something out of a fairytale and Tierra de Fuego National Park is beautiful. Very nice amenities in the park as well. Once in a lifetime experience.
This is a good tour...but...!Tierra del Fuego national park is stunning and a Must see, Ushuaia is a nice City(?), we were picked up and dropped off, great guide (sorry cant remember her name). But the train trip is a complete waste of time. The whole time could be better spent elsewhere, Between getting to the station for your allotted time a little early, ( we had to drive out of the park to catch the train back in!!!!), having to have your photo taken with jolly "prisoners", stopping 10 minutes down the track for another 30 minutes (and to buy your photo) and little in the way of scenery on the entire journey on an extremly cramped little train!!! Save time and money and avoid the train part.
Arrived via Celebrity Eclipse. Took excursion via bus to the National Park then offloaded to a powered catamaran through Beagle Sound back to the port. Windy but beautiful. Loved it.
Great tour guide was doing the tour in two languages which is extremely hard. The trouble with this tour is the places were boring. Just not worth the money
A worthwhile stop to the Terra Feuga National park. Lots of nature to see. Walk around the lake and stop over at the visitor center at Alakush. The tour also stop at the end of the world or Baia Lapataia. The last point of South America before entering Antarctica Magellan straits.
The train to the end of the world was amazing! It was full of history and lots of stuff to see! Our tour had several people who didn't want to take the train and just went with the van to the pickup point at the end of the train tour for the rest of the trip. The whole trip was informative and our guide Sophia provided all of us a great tour of the flora and fauna of the area as well as the geology and peoples in the area (including the original natives and the prisoners and the guards who were relocated there). At the end she suggested some places we might want to go shopping for the things we wanted to purchase. It was an excellent tour!
Disappointing as we were booking the tour with optional premium class lunch and drinks and were told by Viator rep that this is what we would receive however; when we obtained our tickets for the train we discovered we were booked in tourist class and not the premium class we were told we would receive. I was unable to upgrade at my own additional cost because premium class was sold out. Very disappointed with the purchase. Our tour guide, Damian was very good . Only plus on tour.
We bought the tour by Viator, super easy and the good price compared to the other agencies, in my opinion is a must for those who come to Ushuaia.
The train ride is too beautiful, the train goes slowly in the middle of a beautiful landscape, quickly stops at Macarena station and follows to the National Park. The train is fully heated, with headphones to listen to the story with a choice of 7 languages (one of them Portuguese). On board are men fancied like the prisoners of old, super friendly and fun, take a photo before boarding that is offered at Macarena station, but unfortunately too expensive (20000 pesos which is equivalent to today almost 100 reais). In the park the passengers land and go to the park (compare the complete tour), the park has a beautiful view, but the visiting part is extremely small and narrow.
It's worth it and especially if you get the Regina guide to Patagonia Chic. Beautiful place to visit, views, history. Obligated place if you come to Ushiaia
The National Park is really a beauty, with its vegetation of ochre, yellow, reddish tones, the background with the Andes mountain range with its white peaks by the snow. Lapataia Bay where National Route number 3 ends, with its crystal clear lake. Admission to the place is paid at the entrance or by tourist agencies. Domestic retirees are discounted in the rate. You reach the train station at the end of the world, very well set, with a lot of organization and friendliness from the staff, who place all the tourists in the respective cars. These are small so I recommend not carrying backpacks or carry-on luggage, because it makes it difficult to sit comfortably during the tour. In this sense, there is an intermediate stop to observe a natural waterfall. At this station you can go down and do a low intensity trek and reach the waterfall. The meandering route is similar to the original train at the time of the Ushuaia Prison and the condemned people traveled to the forest in search of wood and firewood. It was worth coming and living the experience. There is a bilingual audio guide that explains the route and safety measures to consider to avoid accidents.
Desde el principio estuvo mal, llegaron por nosotros media hora tarde, luego nos cambiaron de transporte y la guía muy cortante, nada amable, no contesto mis preguntas de manera correcta, nos bajaron del camión para tomar el tren y nos volvieron a subir porque no hubo lugar porque obviamente llegamos muy tarde, nada interesante, si no fuiste a la cárcel de Ushuaia el día anterior el paseo no tiene sentido porque sólo es bajarse a ver una casa cada y otra vez al bus, tomamos el tren de regreso y fue muy aburrido y lento, no lo recomiendo la verdad
A nice experience, by train, history and park, all beautiful. It was a success to hire our entire package with blue-latin travel and tourism.
The train is very friendly but very expensive for the benefit. The journey of the train takes one hour, which has to be discounted 20 minutes at the stop of the Macarena station which turns it into a photo shoot with people dressed up as prisoners. The other 40 minutes, all in slow motion, viewing beautiful landscapes. Draw your own conclusions
We went through it with the train because it was raining and very cold. The train was an amazing ride!! I know that there are also very nice trails to travel that because of the weather conditions we could not make. Highly recommended!!
Beautiful walk !!!! It's something you can't stop doing ...👏👏👏 some incredible landscapes, it's about 8 km of travel on this beautiful steam train listening to the story of your story 👍
It's a must-see. It is really enjoyed, the station, the train , in the sale room you can find beautiful souvenirs. Loved it!!!
