Ushuaia- Senda costera

On our first day in Ushuaia, we hiked the Sendero Costera along the coast. The entrance fee to Tierra del Fuego National Park took us by surprise – a hefty 40,000 Chilenos, about 35 CHF per person. But by the end of the day, we had to admit it was worth.

The trail led us through stunning coastal landscapes with dense forests, quiet bays, and rugged cliffs. After hours of hiking, we reached the endpoint at Lapataia and planned to take the bus back to the entrance – only to find out there was no not possible to pay without reservation or 10,000 Chilenos.

With no other option for us, we started walking back and tried hitchhiking along the way. After several attempts, a friendly young man stopped after we walked more than 27 kilometres and offered us a ride back to Ushuaia. He was working in Usuhaia for a few days and also had the opportunity to visit the park in the afternoon.Læs mere
