Exploring Ushuaia

Ushuaia is the closest city to Antarctica, which is why we are known as the “gateway to Antarctica”. Currently with more than 80,000 inhabitants, it offers a variety of services for both residents and visitors.

Ushuaia is a city that has a central area and suburbs. In the center of the city, there is the main street San Martin, where shops, cafes, and all kinds of services are located, located 200 meters from the port, a must-see place for travelers from all over the world, both those who visit us for their adventure to Antarctica and for those who enjoy an excursion through the unmissable Beagle Channel.

Summer is the season when you can enjoy longer days as there are few hours of darkness. From November to March, the day lasts from 6 am to 10 pm.

We recommend that our visitors do not forget a waterproof jacket as our climate can change suddenly. As we say, we have all four seasons in one day.

In addition, there are several areas where the terrain is not smooth, so we suggest bringing comfortable shoes, such as trekking shoes if you are going to do any activity that requires them, or similar footwear anyway. This will help avoid falls in places where there may be humidity as a result of the changing weather and at the same time prevent damage to shoes you use for other occasions.

Yes, there is wifi internet in private places such as cafes, hotels, accommodations, as well as in the tourist office located in front of the port.

There are no public bus services at the airport, although there are in the rest of the city that operate as in the rest of the country with the SUBE card.
