What Is Tierra del Fuego National Park?
Tierra del Fuego National Park is the most southern of Argentina’s national park and preserves 63,000 hectares of Andean-Patagonian forest!
What Makes It Beautiful?
This is a magical place from the top of the wind-blasted mountains to the squishy carpet of turba underfoot! Lush green meets snowy white as land intermingles with water. This park is a symbol of resilience against the destructive forces of nature and human interactions!
The wildlife here is also worth noting, because the birds are especially colorful! White upland and kelp geese waddle around with black-faced ibis, and crested caracaras circle the skies above! Plus, Tierra del Fuego National Park is home to the world’s southernmost beavers, who love controversy as much as reality TV stars!
How Can I #HelpTheHelpers?
- Pay the entrance fee to help maintain trails, signs, structures, and other visitor services!
- Be a responsible visitor! Remember the old adages: Pack out what you pack in! Take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints!
How Do I Get There?
The park entrance is about 7 miles west of Ushuaia along Ruta Nacional 3!

When Should I Visit the Park?
Since this area is so far south and has such unpredictable weather, I say you should visit between November and March for best wildlife and flower viewing!
