19 March – Buenos Aires to Beagle Channel
written by Lauren
This morning we woke up to a beautiful rooftop breakfast at our hotel, Dazzler Palermo in Buenos Aires. Some enjoyed breakfast pastries and fresh fruit, while others ate their weight in dulce de leche.
After breakfast, we set off to the other airport in Buenos Aires, Aeroparque, and boarded our final flight (for a while, at least) to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. For this reason, Ushuaia is often referred to as “the end of the world” and “ the gateway to the Antarctic”. Ushuaia is located in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, and is surrounded by the southern Andes mountain range.
After we landed, we got a shuttle to our hotel and then explored the city on foot. Some went birding, while others walked along the coastal path and took in the views of Ushuaia Bay that leads into the Beagle Channel.
That afternoon, we enjoyed traditional Argentinian food and celebrated Iga’s birthday. Happy Birthday Iga!
