Our second day in Ushuaia, often called the southernmost city in the world, started with breakfast and a lovely sunrise.
Then we hopped into a local taxi and spent the day touring Tierra del Fuego National Park. Our stops included the post office at the End of the World, a small building on stilts covered in signs and stickers, then Lago Acigami, Laguna Negra and the Cascada Río Pipo waterfall.
We finished at the beaver habitat. The beavers aren’t native: about 20 North American beavers were released here in 1946, and Argentina now treats them as an invasive species because of the damage they’ve done to the forest. We loved every one of the stops, and the scenery between them was just as good.
