Surrounded by the looming Martial Mountains at the edge of the vast Beagle Channel, Ushuaia is aptly nicknamed the "End of the World". In this thrillingly remote gateway to Patagonia, wild nature and dramatic views abound. Mountainous Tierra del Fuego National Park, part of the subantarctic Andean-Patagonian Forest is known for its richness of plant and animal life, tundra, waterfalls, and glaciers. Named Land of Fire by Spanish explorers for the bonfires lit by the indigenous Yámanas people. One of the most dramatic landscapes in the world with outstanding opportunities to hike through Torres del Paine National Park or take an extreme excursion to Antarctica's King George Island.
