My trip to Patagonia - Ushuaia

Day 13: Ushuaia spent three days. As soon as we arrived we moved to a shelter on the outskirts of the city, we had already booked, I can not remember the name of the shelter, remember that I still had angina and fever, the place I think it was Valle de Tierra Mayor.

The place was good for trekking, the day of our arrival we visited the Emerald Lake and a colony of beavers that had nearby. Later we ate right there before going to sleep. Very nice place, was like a cabin with glass windows that allowed distributed contemplate the forest that surrounds it, the ground floor was the place to be with tables and a wood stove officiating while heating. On the top floor were the bunk beds where we slept.

Day 14: In the morning it snowed in Ushuaia, something unusual for that time, we were told it is rare for snow in the middle of January. After breakfast we visit the Lago Fagnano and then we left for the city of Ushuaia, we stayed in a hostel in downtown area, was located 1 block of Calle San Martín.

In the afternoon we made a trip to Tierra del Fuego National Park, we walked around the park trails and visit the Lapataia, where the Andes is sinking in the ocean. In the evening we dined at the downtown, on Calle San Martín, which is the main street of Ushuaia there are several restaurants and dining options.

Day 15: We spent the morning touring the city of Ushuaia. In the port there are several alternatives for sailing through the Beagle Channel and see penguins, they can be hired on the spot. I would not do any because I was sick and dizzy easily, I preferred to explore the city better out of the center and do some shopping.

In the afternoon we went to the airport and took our flight back to Buenos Aires.

If traveling to any of these places, I hope you will serve the data that we went through. I regret having been so synthetic in my description of the latter part of the trip but I had really bad angina for several days, and think that was a silly oversight.
I recommend you be careful to always have a shelter wherever they go, but it is hot and the sky is clear, in these latitudes when the sun sets the temperature drops several degrees quickly. It is also common in areas by mountain weather conditions suddenly change from one moment to another.

Good luck!.
