(3 reviews)
Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world, located in the province of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.
Although the strong point here is the backcountry skiing -due to the excellent snow quality, especially during the Patagonian winter- mountain climbing is an activity that grows more and more in the summer and spring seasons. The Cerro Alvear, the Martial Glacier, the Cerro Portillo, Olivia or Cerro Domo Blanco are just some spots of interest among mountaineers who get Ushuaia in search of a truly southern-hemisphere experience.
