Ushuaia

Why Visit Ushuaia? # The damp smell of rotting kelp and freezing salt spray hits your face the moment you step off the plane at the southernmost airport in the world. Jagged, snow-dusted peaks of the Martial Range plunge directly into the dark, churning gray waters of the Beagle Channel, creating a dramatic landscape that feels entirely detached from the rest of South America. Sitting at the absolute edge of the continent, this frontier town offers travelers a rare chance to stand where the Andes mountains finally give way to the endless, windswept expanse of the Southern Ocean and the frozen continent beyond.
