Flying to Ushuaia
Ushuaia, on the Beagle Channel, is Argentina's southernmost city and the main departure port for Antarctic cruises. The private flight lands a few minutes from the centre, between the mountains and the sea, with no connections or waiting.
When to go
November to March for sailing the Beagle Channel, exploring the national park and boarding for Antarctica; June to October for skiing at Cerro Castor.
Good to know
From the airport you reach the centre in about 10 minutes. Wind and snow can delay or reschedule flights, especially in winter, when the days are also short, so plan with some margin. Cerro Castor is about 26 km from town on Route 3, and Tierra del Fuego National Park about 12 km to the west. If you are going skiing, tell us how many sets of gear you are bringing: hold capacity varies by aircraft.
