Bahía Thetis Essentials

This collection highlights the landmarks of Ushuaia and the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. It features the Tierra del Fuego National Park, where the Pan-American Highway ends at Bahía Lapataia, and the historic Southern Fuegian Railway. Cultural sites include the former prison—now the Maritime Museum—and the Acatushún Museum’s collection of marine skeletons. Natural highlights include the turquoise Laguna Esmeralda, the Martial Glacier, and the remote San Juan de Salvamento lighthouse on Isla de los Estados, which served as the inspiration for Jules Verne’s literature.
