🇦🇷 Tierra del Fuego National Park, the place that made me fall in love with hiking completely!

💁‍♀️Foreword: In the beginning of 2023, my husband and I embarked on a 14-day journey to Argentina, with Ushuaia as our final destination. In Tierra del Fuego National Park, there is a post office at the world's farthest end, but what we can't forget is the 8.8-kilometer hike in the park that took us four and a half hours, not the post office or the postcards we sent from there. There are four hiking routes in the Fire Land Park. Based on duration, scenery, and experience, I highly recommend this 8-kilometer coastal hiking route (called Route 2 in the park). Along the way, you can see the surging waves of the sea and experience walking through the primitive forest full of feces. We were lucky enough to see a nest of baby eagles! Although we experienced strong winds and hail, if I come to Ushuaia again, I would still choose to embark on this route. 🕙Travel date: January 25th, departing at 9:00am and returning at 4:00pm. 🥾Travel mode: Independent travel 📍Location: Ushuaia Fire Land Park, guided by Google Maps. 💲Ticket purchase: No need to buy tickets in advance, you can buy them at the park entrance when you get off, I forgot the price... You can also pick up an English map when you buy it, which is convenient for finding your way later. 🚗Arrival method: 1. Take a bus from the tourist center, round-trip fare is 6000 pesos/person. There is a money-saving strategy: don't appear too anxious, there will be people selling last-minute tickets before departure, and you can get on the bus for about 4500 pesos. 2. Take a taxi directly to the destination. Taxis in Ushuaia use meters, and if you're unsure about the price, you can ask at the tourist center. If there are many people, taking a taxi may be more cost-effective~ 👀Tour route: 1. The bus will take you to the World's End Post Office, which is also the starting point of the No.2 hiking trail. After visiting the post office, you can start hiking. 2. There are yellow markers along the way as signs, so don't worry about getting lost. Just be careful to look for the yellow markers at forked roads and don't take the wrong path. 3. The endpoint of the hike is a bit confusing, as it overlaps with the road. Just follow the road ahead and you will see the sign for the visitor center. The shuttle bus pickup point for the return trip is located at the visitor center. ✅Suggestion: 1. It is recommended to wear windproof and waterproof clothes, pants and shoes, and bring a hat and gloves. The weather in Ushuaia changes quickly, and we encountered strong winds, heavy rain and hail during our hike. 2. Go light and bring a small amount of food and water supply. Although the journey is not far, it is not easy to walk, and you can take a break in the middle to replenish energy. 3. There is a lot of feces on the road, both from herbivores and carnivores (possibly foxes). Although we only encountered a nest of young eagles along the way, there are definitely many animals around. Don't panic if you encounter any, just ask the park staff in advance about the types of animals and prevention methods. 4. The driver who picks you up on the return trip may not be the same driver and car as the one who brought you here, so you can ask if your ticket is valid for their car when you see one (there are departures at 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm, but don't trust South Americans' sense of time, my husband and I didn't get on the bus until 3:30pm).
