Tierra del Fuego
Off the southern tip of the continent, and split between Chile and Argentina, Tierra del Fuego – the land of fire – is the largest island off South America, and also its most visited.
The most visited spots are on the Argentine side, including the town of Ushuaia and the Beagle Channel, but there are some good spots on the Chilean side too. The island is easily accessible by ferry from both the Chilean and Argentine Mainland.
Highlights of Tierra del Fuego:
Ushuaia is the tourist hub of the island, and by far the most visited part of the region. Its beautiful setting and proliferation of tourist services make it an excellent base from which you can explore the nearby attractions, of which there are many.
Take a boat trip along the Beagle Channel, where you will be surrounded by wildlife on all sides – sealions, whales and birds such as albatross and cormorants all inhabit this area.
The peaks of the Cordillera Darwin also make a good day trip from Punta Arenas or Puerto Williams, with their thick forests and hiking trails.
Likewise, the coastal Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego is not far from Ushuia and delights visitors with its beech forest, rugged peaks and stunning coastline.
Go to the world’s most southerly town, Puerto Williams, which is on Isla Navarino. You can fly there or go by boat.
