Overview

Make the most of your arrival in Ushuaia with a guided half-day exploration of Tierra del Fuego National Park, before embarking on your expedition. After dropping your luggage with the dedicated transfer team at the airport, travel by coach with an expert local guide who will bring the region’s subantarctic forests, stunning landscapes, varied wildlife, and deep history to life through engaging interpretation. Tierra del Fuego National Park is Argentina’s southernmost national park, where dramatic mountains, pristine forests, peat bogs, lakes, and rugged coastline converge at the end of the world. The park offers an unforgettable connection to land before you set sail on your Antarctic adventure! Your day trip includes your lunch, and following this adventure, you will be transferred directly to your ship for embarkation. Please note that the End of the World Train is not included in this experience due to time constraints. 

Local Hosts
Operating in Ushuaia for over 50 years, the Rumbo Sur team is widely-respected for their team’s deep regional expertise and a long-standing relationship with Quark Expeditions, delivering seamless, thoughtfully guided experiences in Tierra del Fuego.
