Car Hire Ushuaia

The city is served by Ushuaia International Airport, found a couple of miles away from the city but on the same island. It’s international in that it accepts flights from Chile and Brazil but from outside of these countries tourists would need to fly to a major hub such as Sao Paulo or Buenos Aires to access Ushuaia.

Ushiaia is thought of as the world’s southernmost city, almost at the tip of the part of Tierra del Fuego in Argentina. It has had an interesting history being a missionary town, a penal colony, an Argentine naval base and the site of a political prison during the dark days of Argentina. It’ s also known as a place Charles Darwin visited on his voyages and where he encountered the local Yamana people who he felt could have been a missing link in the evolution of humans. Today, the city is a very popular tourist destination which has a port for ship departures to Antarctica.

Taking a rental car into the Tierra del Fuego National Park will lead you to some amazing walking trails which range in length from a couple of hours to several days.
