National Park Morning Tour, Train or Boat Option

About This Experience

After pickup in Ushuaia, the tour follows Ruta Nacional 3 west, crossing the Río Pipo bridge beside the Ushuaia Golf Club, to the End of the World Train station. Travellers who booked the train option ride from here.

In the park the group visits Lake Acigami, a glacial lake ringed by forest and peaks, then Cormorants Island and a beaver dam. There is free time at the Alakush Visitor Center, which has a café, restaurant, toilets, a souvenir shop and a small museum.

The last stop is Lapataia Bay, where a boardwalk leads to viewpoints and the guide covers the Indigenous peoples who lived on this coast, before the drive back to Ushuaia.

The End of the World Train ticket is included only with the train option, which needs hotel pickup and is not available for in-transit cruise passengers. Another option swaps the train for a boat trip to Redonda Island. The national park entry fee (ARS 40,000 for foreign visitors since 1 June 2026) is not included.

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 train option requires hotel pickup and is not available for in-transit cruise passengers.
• 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.
• Send your hotel name and a WhatsApp number to the operator when you confirm.
• Weather changes fast in Ushuaia and snow is common from June to September; warm, waterproof layers are needed in every month.
