USHUAIA
.
ARGENTINA
:USHUAIA .
Capital
of Tierra del Fuego and the most southern-placed city in the world,
as well as the nearest natural port to the Antarctica, Ushuaia
appears as a city with a population of 69.500 inhabitants approx.
(data from 1991) . It has an important touristic flux during summer
time.
It
is situated at the Beagle Channel's coast and the Martial Mountain's
bottom, in a wonderful spot, surrounded by magnificent landscapes.
It is a really picturesque city with antique houses made of wood
and red roofs.
The hotel complex offers tourists a number of first class commodities,
such as modern hotels at the city's center, some feet away from
the center, where visitors can spend a pleasant stay. Moreover,
Ushuaia's gastronomic center offers, aside its international menu,
two fabulous and traditional dishes: King Crabs or Cordero Fueguino
(lamb), both of them prepared in a traditional way.
Curiously, the weather in Ushuaia is quite good considering the
latitude.
This fact is due to the city location, between a mountain range
and the sea, so temperature is around 6ºC (43ºF) and
10ºC (50ªF).
But the most curious and significant climatological phenomenon
is that the longest day and the longest night occur at Ushuaia.

INTERESTING PLACES
Tierra del Fuego National Park
Was founded in 1960 and it concentrates about 68.000 ha.
between Chile (west) and the Beagle Channel (south). The
park is famous because of the contrast between colourful
woods of ñires and lengas with touchs of green,
yellow, red and ochre, and the majestic mountains behind
them. But the park's distinctive fact is that it is the
only one in Argentina that has sea coasts and is situated
behind Los Andes mountain range.
