Ushuaia - Argentina

Today was a beautiful sunny day in Ushuaia. We had an all-day excursion while the rest of the guests boarded for the remaining part of the trip. Luckily we missed all the luggage traffic and lost people (like we were at first).
We had a bus tour with a local guide that took us to Tierra Del Fuego, the Southern Andes Mountains and Lago Fagano. The drive was north of the port, which is on the southernmost point of Argentina and the world. We had beautiful views of the Andes mountains that shield Ushuaia from the harsh northern winds. At one stop, we saw a red wolf on our walk along the lake and through the woods. It was an unusual day since the sky was sunny and you could see the mountains, lakes, bogs and all the trees that will turn for winder in a few weeks. Some of them have started turning dark orange and yellow.
Then back to town for some quick shopping to get back onboard for our exit from the Antarctic region, heading up the western coast of South America.Read more
