Ushuaia & the land of fire – in 17 pictures to the end of the world

The bay of Ushuaia - small and big boats are waiting to go on the next adventure

Beside all the videos I also took my photo camera to Ushuaia to photograph the landscape, the nature and the adventures I did. Experience a bit of Ushuaia & the land of fire by enjoying the following pictures from the end of the world in this Photo Essay.

Tierra del Fuego, the land of fire, the end of the world – the area in the very south of South America has a lot of nicknames and attracts more visitors each year. For a reason: it's a great place to hike, enjoy the nature and do some cool outdoor activities. In the Video about Ushuaia I recently published you get an overview of all the possibilities how to spend your time in Ushuaia if you've not done it you should check it out right after scrolling through the pictures!
