OVERVIEW

Tierra del Fuego National Park, at the southern tip of Argentina, offers stunning landscapes and unforgettable experiences. A highlight of any visit is the historic “Train of the End of the World” (Tren del Fin del Mundo).

This narrow-gauge steam railway winds through the breathtaking scenery of Tierra del Fuego, offering a journey rich in history and natural beauty. Originally built in the early 20th century to transport prisoners, it now serves as a tourist attraction, immersing visitors in the park’s forests, rivers, and mountains.

As the train travels through dense forests, past snow-capped peaks and clear rivers, passengers enjoy informative commentary about the railway’s past and the indigenous Yamana people who once lived in the region.

The journey includes stops at key points of interest within the park, allowing visitors to disembark and explore. Scenic trails lead to waterfalls, viewpoints, and other natural wonders, offering a closer look at the park’s diverse wildlife and landscapes.

ITINERARY

This incredible journey begins along the renowned National Route No. 3, passing through the Río Pipo valley and the slopes of Monte Susana until we arrive at the Train of the End of the World station. This area was once used by inmates of the old Ushuaia prison for firewood collection.

After exploring the station, we’ll board a convoy following part of the original route of the historic prison train. The journey takes us across bridges and peat bogs, stopping at La Macarena waterfall for a brief introduction to the area. We’ll then continue into Tierra del Fuego National Park, reaching the site where the Lombardich sawmill once stood.

The train ride concludes at the “Park Station,” where our driver and guide will be waiting to continue the tour through the park’s most breathtaking landscapes. We’ll visit highlights such as Roca Lake and Lapataia Bay, where National Route 3—part of the Pan-American Route—comes to an end.

At each stop, we’ll take short walks to admire the diverse native forest and wildlife thriving in Argentina’s southernmost National Park. The excursion ends with a return to the city.

FAQs

Yes, it’s available all year-round.

Is this tour available for passengers on a cruise?

Are food and drinks included?

Food and drinks are not included in the tour, but there may be opportunities to purchase them at the station or along the way.

What should I bring with me?

It’s recommended to bring comfortable clothing, warm layers, sunscreen, a camera, and waterproof shoes as the weather can change quickly in the region.

How long does the excursion last?

The excursion lasts approximately 1 hour for the train ride, with additional time for stops or further activities if included in the full excursion.

Is the End of the World Train mainly scenic or historical?

It is both. The journey combines forest, rivers, peat bogs and mountain scenery with the history of Ushuaia’s former prison railway.

Is the train ride suitable for families with young children?

Yes, it is generally one of the easiest ways for families to experience the National Park because much of the experience is seated and the walks are relatively short.

Which side of the train has the best views?

Views vary along the route, so there is no single side that is best for the entire trip. Scenic features appear on both sides.

Does the tour reach the end of National Route 3?

The National Park itinerary normally includes Lapataia Bay, where National Route 3 reaches its southern end, subject to operational and road conditions.

Is this tour a good option in winter?

Yes, but winter conditions can change the scenery and route. Snow and ice may make the park especially beautiful, while weather can occasionally modify stops.

Can I take this tour if I do not enjoy long walks?

Yes. The excursion is primarily a scenic vehicle-and-train experience with short walks at selected viewpoints.

Is the train heated in cold weather?

Train equipment is designed for Ushuaia’s climate, but passengers should still dress warmly because time is also spent outdoors before and after the ride.

Are there toilets available during the excursion?

Facilities are generally available at main visitor areas and the train station, but it is advisable to use them whenever the guide indicates an opportunity.

Can I combine this tour with another activity the same afternoon?

Usually yes, because the excursion normally returns in the early afternoon. A Beagle Channel navigation is one of the most natural combinations, provided schedules match.

Is this better for first-time visitors than visiting the park independently?

For first-time visitors, the guided option has the advantage of transport, commentary and coordinated train tickets, making the experience easier to organize.
