| Ushuaia:
Ushuaia, the southernmost city of the world, is the capital of the
province of Tierra del Fuego, Antártida and South Atlantic
Islands.
Situated on the border of the Beagle Canal and surrounded by the
Mounts Martial, this city offers a unique landscape in Argentina
made up of mountains, sea, glaciers and woods.
Its capricious topography has generated an extremely picturesque
city that combines colours and unevenness with the silhouette of
the Andes Mountain Range as background. it is important to note
the building contrast between the modern constructions and the wooden
houses with gabled sheet metals that give it a particular characteristic.
Its climate, in spite of its geographical situation, is not as severe
as it seems, since both the mountains and the sea soften it. In
winter, the snowy landscape changes its physiognomy. There are several
winter centres for the practice of cross-country skiing; and in
the central part of Mount Castor, Alpine skiing can be practised.
The summer season is ideal for the adventure tourism activities
such as trekking, horseback riding, mountain byke, sporting fishing
and the most astounding tours along the Beagle Canal, Cape Horn
and even the Argentine Antártida. During this season, several
cruises reach the port of Ushuaia bringing numberless groups of
tourists willing to meet all these attractions.
The city comprises a very good lodging and gastronomic infrastructure,
where you can try the traditional fueguina spider crab surrounded
by the frame of a prodigious nature. |
