Tierra del Fuego

 
Overview

Tierra del Fuego is the southernmost and least populous Argentine province. The province had been inhabited by indigenous people for more than 12,000 years, since they migrated south of the mainland.

Description

The southernmost extreme of the Americas, this windswept archipelago is as alluring as it is moody – by turns beautiful, ancient and strange. Travelers who first came for the ends-of-the-earth novelty discover a destination that’s far more complex than a mere source of bragging rights. Intrigue remains in a past storied with shipwrecks, native peoples and failed missions. In Tierra del Fuego, nature is writ bold and reckless, from the scoured plains, rusted peat bogs and mossy lenga forests to the snowy ranges above the Beagle Channel.
