Ride the End of the World Train from Ushuaia into Tierra del Fuego for steam-era stories, big-window views, and a short stop at La Macarena.
“Wow. This was a great experience going to the end of the world. The scenery was indeed snowy and cool. A must have experience when in Ushuaia. My friends and I were amazed of the city. Tierra del Fuego Park was a gem. Bravo!”
A full Argentine-side Iguazu day with train to Devil’s Throat, choice of circuits, a soak-in-boat ride, and safari truck views.
“It’s a great tour! We loved seeing the waterfalls and going on the boat ride under the waterfalls. Absolutely amazing. There was a considerable amount of walking to get to the Devil’s Throat, but it was well worth it. Our guide, Marcelo, did a great job of getting us through the park, buying tickets and taking care of us. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel in a timely fashion.I’d do this tour again.”
Guided Ushuaia day trip with the End of the World train, Tierra del Fuego park viewpoints, and postcard stops by Round Island and Lapataia.
“Not ideal that it was snowing the day we did this trip in October! That said this was an expensive trip for what it was. The National Park is worth a visit and the train is OK but you can probably do this yourself much more cheaply!”
Tierra del Fuego National Park plus the vintage End of the World Train from Ushuaia, with Yamana history, lagoons, and bay views.
“It started off on the wrong foot. I was told that I would be picked up in the morning at my hotel but the night before the hotel received a call that I now needed to make my way into town to be picked up at a central place. This was an added 20 USD price for me as I was staying outside of town and needed to now take a taxi. As for the park tour - I was expecting that by spending a half day in the park you would spend time in the park walking, hiking. There was a total of 35 minutes allotted for walking in…”
Full-day Ushuaia tour with End of the World Train, Tierra del Fuego viewpoints, and Beagle Channel wildlife cruise to Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse.
“National park views are impressive, April was a great time of the year to go. In the Beagle channel we even had the chance to see whales which was a nice plus.”
Half-day guided trip from Lapataia Bay to Lago Roca, then the End of the World Train, with expert commentary and small-group stops.
“What started out as I thought would be a great experience with a small hiking trail to view the Beagle Channel was nice. The group saw wild horses and great views of the channel. After that, the tour stopped at different spots throughout the national park for 5-10 minute spans and felt very rushed. It was nice to see the post office in the national park despite being closed. The biggest disappointment of the tour was the train ride. The history was great but the experience turned into a huge tourist trap through means of taking photos with the "prisoners" and the mini hike to see the underwhelming waterfall. It…”

“The guide was amazing, the price was a bit high for such a small amount points of interest.”
Argentinian Iguazu Falls tour with train, Upper Path, jungle-truck and a boat ride close to Devil’s Throat, from Puerto Iguazú.

But on the afternoon of the 6th, I could still buy a ticket for the Ushuaia train for the 7th on another platform.”

One-guided-day Iguazú Falls trip from Puerto Iguazú with train or trail time, Devil’s Throat views, and optional boat ride.
“The waterfalls site itself is truly amazing, one of the best things I have ever seen in my life. Regarding the tour, the group was small and the guide (Junior) was eager to give us info and reply to questions, although he was not with us along the trails, explaining stuff, as I saw other, smaller gropus' guide. Maybe those were private. Also, I did not like his "funny" jokes at the beggining, where he was explaining stuff in Spanish for more the 5mins, and I asked if he was going to repaet everything in English, and he said "English is tomorrrow, today only in Spanish". I did not appreciate…”
