National Park & End of the World Train Tour

About This Experience

A minibus with a driver and local guide collects you from your hotel in Ushuaia and drives about 45 minutes to Tierra del Fuego National Park. If you booked the train option, you ride the End of the World Train for about an hour along the old prisoners' line.

Travellers who skip the train take a short, easy guided walk on the Sendero Turba (Senda del Turbal) peat-bog trail instead of waiting at the station. Both groups then continue together to Lapataia Bay, where the sign marks the end of Ruta Nacional 3 and the southern end of the Pan-American Highway.

The tour continues to Lake Roca, the Alakush Visitor Center for a 30-minute break, and Ensenada Zaratiegui, where the building that housed the southernmost post office stands. In winter the road to Ensenada Zaratiegui may be closed for safety. The day ends in the centre of Ushuaia, on Avenida San Martín, not back at your hotel.

The End of the World Train ticket is included only if you select the train option. The national park entry fee (ARS 40,000 for foreign visitors since 1 June 2026) is not included on either option.

Good to Know & Caveats

• Every visitor needs a Tierra del Fuego National Park ticket: ARS 40,000 for foreign visitors since 1 June 2026 (Argentine residents pay less, and children aged 0 to 6 enter free). It can be bought online in advance from the national parks service.
• The End of the World Train sells out in December to February, when most cruise ships call, so train seats for those months are best booked early.
• In winter the road to Ensenada Zaratiegui may be closed for safety, so that stop can be dropped.
• The End of the World Post Office at Ensenada Zaratiegui is often closed, so don't count on going inside.
• Cruise passengers are asked to send their ship's arrival and departure times to the operator after booking.
• Luggage and large bags are not allowed on the tour.
