Ushuaia Holidays

Nestled at the base of the Martial Mountains, stretching over a small peninsula at the southern tip of South America, with its stunning backdrop and bustling port, it’s easy to see how Ushuaia earned its nickname as the ‘End Of The World’. The city is cooled by surrounding oceans, creating an average temperature of around ten degrees Celsius, although winters bring freezing temperatures and snowfall that lasts from June to September - making for extreme conditions for adventuring. Colourful houses line the streets of Ushuaia and the city’s waterfront is a hive of activity, with restaurants, shops and markets selling everything from souvenirs to fresh produce. In addition to visiting its natural wonders, Ushuaia holidays have plenty of activities for travellers who are looking for adventure. The landscape offers many adventurous and adrenaline-pumping activities, such as mountain biking, sailing, kayaking and hiking. Enjoy a cruise south along the Beagle Channel - a strait in the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago home to an abundance of wildlife, including penguins and seabirds. Ushuaia's location at the southern tip of South America also makes it a popular starting point for expeditions to Antarctica’s frozen desert.
