The southernmost city in the world, the township closest to Antarctica, the outpost cradled by the last peaks of the Andes Mountains and the Beagle Channel (named for Charles Darwin's ship, HMS Beagle), Ushuaia is your departure point for a strenuous half-day excursion with a snack. Set off from a remote cabin in Refugio Nunatak for a guided hike. A lush Lenga forest frames dramatic views of peat bogs and beaver dams. Keep an eye out for some of the different species of terrestrial mammals and birds. Upon your return to the cabin, sit down to a delightful snack of tea, coffee or mate cocido with sandwiches and apple pie. Surely you´ve worked up an appetite during your eventful two-hour hike! When everyone is ready, you´ll re-board your motorcoach for the scenic return drive to Ushuaia, the picturesque capital of Tierra del Fuego.
