Ushuaia is one of the most beautiful, unknown spots in the world. Located on the southern side of Argentina, it is absolutely breath taking. The first thing, which is a MUST see is the gorgeous mountains located in Tierra del Fuego. Tierra del Fuego means ‘Land of Fire’ but ironically this landscape in Argentina is covered in ice. Once you get Ushuaia, you can take a tour for the day to see these mountains. Here is a link to learn about how amazing these mountains truly are and to get information about the tours you can take, http://www.destination360.com/south-america/argentina/tierra-del-fuego.php. This is an experience you must see and a never forget vision in Argentina! The next must, must, and must of course involves food. Kapué Restaurant in Ushuaia has some of the most amazing salads, seafood and sampler places in the world! The prices of the food are no more than $20 and the atmosphere is worth every penny! It’s small, quiet, romantic yet authentic. Crab is one of the most popular picks according to their website, but everything on the menu, seafood lover or not is above and beyond delicious. The last adventure that I recommend is doing a sailing trip in Ushuia. There is a particular sailing trip (I will provide a link), which takes you out on the most beautiful seas to a gorgeous lighthouse. You usually can take a catamaran here! The lighthouse is called Les Eclaireurs, but this isn’t even the best part. On your sailing trip you will see the most unique wildlife imaginable! From penguins to sea lions and everything in between, you will be stunned, blown away and feel the true range of wildlife of an exotic culture.
