Discover Ushuaia, Argentina: Your Ultimate Patagonian Adventure Gateway
The journey to Antarctica was delayed due to unfavorable weather, which left me stranded in Ushuaia for three days. I seized this unexpected opportunity to explore the city at a leisurely pace 🌆
🏨 The cruise company arranged my stay at the charming Hayas. The highlight of my stay was witnessing a breathtaking sunrise from a viewing platform just below the hotel.
Locals confirmed that this spot offers the best vantage point in the area.
🍽️ 🍠 Following recommendations from other apps, I dined at Bamboo and El Viejo Marino. At Bamboo, I enjoyed the self-service lamb chops, and it was quite an adventure trying tripe and beef tendons for the first time abroad [laugh-cry R].
El Viejo Marino’s king crab wasn’t particularly impressive, except for its affordability compared to China, but their seafood noodles were absolutely delicious and highly recommended!
🚗 In addition to strolling through the city and snapping photos at various scenic spots, I also picked up some unique fridge magnets as souvenirs.
I made sure to visit the world’s southernmost lighthouse, where you can spot sea lions and seals basking on the rocks, and the national forest park, a haven for hikers. My only regret was that the southernmost post office was closed, as it only operates during the summer months.
