O melhor da Baía de Ushuaia

Ushuaia Bay Essentials

Ushuaia Bay serves as the maritime gateway to the Antarctic, framed by the Martial Mountains and the Beagle Channel. This collection highlights the area's evolution from a remote penal colony to a global expedition hub. Key sites include the historic Presidio prison complex, the rusting Saint Christopher shipwreck, and memorials dedicated to the Malvinas War. Visitors can explore early 20th-century architecture at Casa Beban or observe subantarctic birdlife along the Pasarela Fique walkway.
