ushuaia, argentina

Ushuaia was amazing. I was still traveling with Anya from Columbus, Ohio and we spent our days hiking to glaciers, hiking in Tierra del Fuego National Park, and taking boat rides in the Beagle Channel. We stayed at the most relaxing little place run by a guy named Javier. Our room had a 180 degree view from the Beagle Channel, across town, and up to the mountains. We also unfortunately had a front row seat to the busiest bar in town which was raging until 3 or 4 am everynight. And after long days hiking it was often hard to fall asleep and we were woken up several times every night, but it wasn´t really that bad. We were sleeping in every morning anyways. We ate great seafood and drank more wine, went shopping and hiked like crazy! It is the most amazing place ever, and I could have spent a lot more time there. Ushuaia was awesome because everything is soooo close to town. You can just walk out your door and in 5 minutes be at the boats for tours on the channel, you can walk 5 minutes and get to the buses running to the Parque Nacional, which was a 30 minute trip, you could call a cab to take you to Galciar Martial, which was 10 minutes away... you can wake up, eat a long breakfast, decide where to go, and boom, you´re there. You don´t have to plan out a whole day of traveling or anything. Just wake up, hang out, decide what you want to do and in 10 minutes you´ll be on your way.
