Three days covers the main attractions with one activity per morning and afternoon. Book the train and national park entry the day before arrival.

Do I need to book the End of the World Train ahead?

Book tickets online or at the station at least 24 hours in advance in summer. The train leaves from a station 8 km outside town and costs about 25 USD.

How do I get to Tierra del Fuego National Park?

Take bus 3 or a shared van from downtown for 2 USD each way. The ride takes 20 minutes and drops you at the main entrance.

A guide is not required but transport to the trailhead costs 20 USD by taxi. Start early to finish before afternoon winds pick up.
