About this activity

We started the tour with the pick up at the hotel and headed to the station of the famous End of the World Train, a historic railway that revives the old route of the prisoners of Ushuaia. On board this vintage train, with steam locomotives and wide windows, you will enjoy a unique experience as you cross spectacular landscapes such as the meandering Pipo River, La Macarena Waterfall and lengas forest. During the tour, you will be able to learn about the history of the former prisoners through an audio system in several languages, which allows you to understand the historical and cultural value of this iconic walk.

At the end of the train tour, we continue exploring Tierra del Fuego National Park, a subantarctic forest nature reserve. After walking its walkways, we return to the city of Ushuaia, completing an unforgettable experience that combines history, nature and unique landscapes.

The End of the World Train

The train, besides traveling along a picturesque route, tells the story of the prisoners who served their sentences in Ushuaia. In the past, it departed from the prison and reached Monte Susana, where inmates gathered materials for construction.

Currently, the journey begins at the End of the World Station, located 8 kilometers from the city, and after approximately one hour, it arrives at the last station near the entrance to the National Park.
