Good place for nature hikes
When we visited the Tierra del Fuego National park, we did two fairly easy scenic hikes. The first was a short one along a lake and a slow moving river. There were a number of birds and lots of trees with moss growing on their trunks. Our 2nd hike was called Mirador Lapataia and the well marked trail led upwards to a viewing platform that overlooked the bay and the Beagle channel.

It was nice
I feel like a grinch saying this but I expected more after reading all of the reviews here first!! Yes it's lovely and it's a nice handy walk but I just expected too much. We did the coastal route which takes about 3 hours I think it was. A lot of it was actually inland through foresty areas with the odd but of coastal path so don't go expecting it to be all along the coast like I did! It was lovely in fairness once you had a view of the coast and it was nice and peaceful too. Worth the visit. There's a little post office at the start of the trail where you can get your passport stamped for 20ar$ or $2usd, we were stingy though and got it done for free in the tourist information centre in town!! How to get to Tierra del Fuego National Park We got a shuttle which cost 200ar$. There are a number of different companies and they all charge the same. The name of ours was Santa Lucia and they were very nice. Once you get to the national park you have to pay entrance fee of 140ar$ then too. The shuttle company give you a map with the times of the shuttles (about every hour or 2 hours) and they now where the stops are. In Ushuaia the place to get the shuttles from is just down by the port near enough to the tourist information centre.
