Traveling to Ushuaia, Argentina

Travel Guide to Ushuaia 2️⃣ (Part 1)||Travel Guide to Ushuaia 2️⃣ (Part 1) After arriving in Ushuaia, I walked into a hostel, booked two tours, and then randomly joined a city tour on the last day. These three tours almost covered everything around Ushuaia. The hostel's information is in pictures 2 & 3. This hostel was recommended by a fellow traveler, and after experiencing it, I truly think it offers great value for money! 1️⃣ Lakeside tour//pictures 4-6: This tour heads north from Ushuaia, following Route 3 all the way to Lago Fagnano. Route 3 is the last stretch of the Pan-American Highway, and along the way, you can see mountains and Lago Escondido, which is similar to our Heavenly Lake, nestled between valleys and only visible when the weather is good. The scenery is magnificent, and this tour is underrated in various guides, but I highly recommend it. It takes about 6 hours, departing at 3 pm and returning home by 9 pm. The price can be seen directly in the hostel's WhatsApp showcase. 2️⃣ Penguin boat tour//pictures 7-8: In this tour, we sailed along the border line towards the open sea, circled around Isla Gable and returned. It also took about six hours. Because of the distance, I saw whales and dolphins, which made me marvel at the wonders of the Earth once again. Actually, every travel agency offers boat tours, but the difference lies in how far they go, and the prices vary accordingly. Some agencies turn back after reaching the red and white lighthouse, but others go further. So, when booking a tour, make sure to ask how far they can go. 3️⃣ City tour//pictures 9-10: You can buy a ticket and board the bus opposite the tourist center in the square, and take a tour around the outskirts of Ushuaia. The scenery is similar to that of Western Sichuan and Tibet, and also reminiscent of the landscapes in 'Heidi'. As someone who loves to see the scenery, I was very satisfied. 4️⃣ Tierra del Fuego National Park: I didn't have time to visit, but I feel that the scenery is quite repetitive, and it might not be necessary to go. Moreover, my friend who went there said that the post office was temporarily closed, and I don't know if it's open now. So we went directly to the post office in the city to buy stamps and send postcards. 5️⃣ The city's post office can be found directly on Google Maps, or you can ask the shopkeepers; it's easy to locate. You can go there to send postcards. I had a funny mix-up when sending postcards; I was looking for glue until I realized that the back of the stamps becomes sticky once wet. The post office gentleman used his saliva to help me stick them, which was quite a shock to me. These three tours perfectly organized my two days in Ushuaia, and I highly recommend each one.
