Day 5. Flight from Calafate to Ushuaia. Transfer to hotel
A transfer will take you to Calafate airport for your flight to Ushuaia. On arrival, another transfer takes you to your hotel.
Even in summer, when heading off on a Ushuaia tour, it's worth packing a warm jacket: it's cool by the water, and the wind makes you pull up your collar. Here, at the end of the earth, Ushuaia greets you with mountains pressing right up to the city streets and a port at their base. If you feel like a stroll after the journey, head to the waterfront. Before you lies the Beagle Channel: vessels sit at the docks, and mountain slopes rise beyond the water. It's lovely to walk along the shore, pause at the port and study the colorful houses against the backdrop of the peaks.
The tour will bring you closer to the nature of Tierra del Fuego tomorrow, in the national park. For today, drop into a cafe, warm your hands around a cup and pick a seat by the window. Or stop by a souvenir shop, unfold a map and find Ushuaia: trace your finger from Buenos Aires through Calafate to the southernmost point of your journey. Astonishing, isn't it?
