No trip to South America is complete without a trip to the Patagonia region of Argentina, complete with a trip to the Tierra del Fuego National Park. This is one of the most beautiful locations within Argentina and, along with the wine and beef of this South American nation, is one of the most lauded of its appeals.
Your headquarters for the trip will be the city of Ushuaia, which also boasts the reputation of southern-most city in the world. Located on the tip of Argentina, you can find plenty of accommodation as well as travel arrangements to get you in and out of the national forest for as many days as you please. You can also go camping inside of the forest at the designated campsite near Lake Roca, as well as many other free camping areas, but staying in the city is the best way to enjoy the park while relaxing each evening in the comfort of your hotel.
The park itself is massive, and actually shares a portion of its space with Chile. It has an amazing range of natural beauty, from the alternating valleys filled with rivers, lakes, and glaciers, to the woody glens of Guindo and Lenga trees, to the rising peaks of the Andes Mountains. There are also the Lapataia and Ensenada bays along the coast, where the yamanas aborigines once lived. The hiking and biking trails can take you all over the park.
Tierra del Fuego National Park is a must-see destination for your trip to South America. No spot in Argentina will give you as much free access to the range of beauty than here in the southern region.
