Ushuaia, Argentina

We disembarked from our cruise on Saturday morning were met by our local guide for a visit to Ushuaia. Ushuaia is a small city of about 65,000 people that is the farthest south major city in the world. ( the farthest south smaller settlements are in Chile ) We visited a small national park close to the city but the weather was not very pleasant and not a great day to be sight seeing. It’s too bad as there are some beautiful lakes and scenery in the park and a lot of the local birds in some interesting wetlands. We passed on visiting the local glacier due to the questionable weather.

Sunday morning we awoke this morning to a few CM of fresh snow. Nice if you have not seen much snow but not so nice if you are trying to get away from snow. We spent the morning looking around the town and caught our afternoon flight to El Calafate, an hour north, by air, from Ushuaia.
