Ushuaia Travel Guide
Argentina
Ushuaia is a small city in southern Argentina, with a population of 58,028. It sits on the Beagle Channel and is a useful base for exploring the far south of the country.
Most visitors arrive by air at Malvinas Argentinas Airport (USH), which serves the city. Ushuaia has a coastal setting, but there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach visits are not a primary reason to come here.
