We arrived in Ushuaia to the harsh realization that our skin had grown quite thin due to that last month and a half in tropical climates. We piled on almost every piece of clothing we owned and set out to get familiar with the "southernmost city in the world".Our first day down south we checked out the town of Ushuaia and the surrounding Beagle Channel. It definitely had that "way out there" feeling. Ushuaia was initially founded as a penal colony...I'm guessing because any inmate would freeze to death or die of exposure if he attempted to escape.
The next day we decided we'd go for a hike the the nearby Parque National Tierra del Fuego. The weather was cooperative and we were able to enjoy a beautiful fall day at the end of the continent. This was a great warm up for both our legs and the camera for the upcoming 5 day hike in Torres del Paine, Chile.
