Discover the magic of <\/span>Tierra del Fuego<\/b> aboard the legendary <\/span>Ferrocarril Austral Fueguino<\/b>known worldwide as the <\/span>End of the World Train<\/b>. This is not just a tourist excursion; it is a journey through time that allows you to relive the history of the ancient settlers and the mythical prison of Ushuaia, while marvelling at the southernmost landscapes on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Living History of the Prisoners of Ushuaia<\/b><\/h3>\n

At the beginning of the 20th century, the inmates of the Ushuaia prison used this train to travel from the prison to the slopes of Mount Susana. Their mission was to collect wood and construction materials for the growth of the incipient city. Today, you can walk along those same paths, but with the comfort of modern heated wagons and the narration of expert guides that will transport you to those times of pioneers and legends.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tour starts at the <\/span>Main Train Station<\/b>It is located only 8 km from the city of Ushuaia. From the moment you get on board, the whistle of the steam locomotive (in some departures) announces that you are about to enter a virgin and protected territory.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Tour of Unsurpassed Natural Beauty<\/b><\/h3>\n

Along the final 7 kilometres of the journey, the train enters into the heart of the <\/span>Tierra del Fuego National Park<\/b>. The landscape is a succession of unforgettable postcards:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • El Ca\u00f1ad\u00f3n del Toro:<\/b> An imposing geographical formation where nature shows its strength.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • La Macarena waterfall:<\/b> The train makes a technical stop at Macarena Station and Paseo del Valle. Here, passengers can disembark to visit a reconstruction of a camp of the nomadic tribe of the <\/span>Y\u00e1manas<\/b> or climb up to a viewpoint to observe the waterfall that rises from the mountain's thawing waters.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The Tree Cemetery:<\/b> You can see the stumps (the remains of trunks) left by the prisoners after decades of logging. These trees cut down to the ground are a silent testimony to forced labour and the passage of time.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Peatlands and Forests:<\/b> We will pass through dense forests of lengas and \u00f1ires, as well as areas of peat, a vital ecosystem only found in these extreme latitudes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
