Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Ushuaia - El fin del Mundo, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego Province, Argentina
Surrounded by Le Martial mountains in Patagonia, Ushuaia offers a glimpse of sea, mountains and forest at the ‘end of the world.’ Aboard your double-decker bus, depart from Maipu Avenue in Ushuaia’s city center, heading toward the Luis Pedro Fique footbridge.
Pass By: Bahia Encerrada, Ushuaia Argentina
Cross a narrow pass that ends at La Mission neighborhood, an area settled by Europeans at the beginning of the 20th century, and drive through districts like Brown and Solier for a glimpse of homes built by Ushuaia’s first immigrants. Hear entertaining onboard commentary about these original Fuegan families – including Bebans, Pastorizas, Cangas, Fiques, Salomons and Ramos – and observe the Patagonian town’s commercial growth since the arrival of new settlers during the 1980s.
Pass By: Canal Beagle, Ushuaia 9410 Argentina
Enter the naval base, a restricted area where the first public buildings like the provincial legislature and old government's house were constructed. From Gobernador Paz Street, your coach will drive to Paseo del Centenario, a panoramic point with great photo ops of the mountain chains and islands across the Beagle Channel, which is the jumping off point for Antarctica. Then, head back down to sea level to see the vessel of St Christopher and hear his story from your guide.
Pass By: Glaciar Martial, Argentina
The Ushuaia coach tour includes a transfer to the base of the chairlift to Martial Glacier, where you can stretch your legs and view the gorgeous landscape.

Let's face it, an hour is never enough to see Ushuaia. However, if you don't have much time, this tour does a pretty good job giving you a good glimpse of Ushuaia. There are some nice picture spot also. Be sure to book well ahead and know the exact locations and be there in advance.
This was a relaxing fun bus ride around Ushuaia. The ride was comfortable and the commentary was good.
A good way of seeing most of the interesting parts of the town and surronding areas.
It was a hard slog up the steep hills to get our ticket from the agent, but the trip was excellent with good historical commentary and took us to good viewpoints.
