Ushuaia, capital de la Tierra del Fuego, está situada a orillas del Canal de Beagle y rodeada por los Montes Martiales que nos ofrece un paisaje único en La Argentina como es la combinación de montañas, mar, glaciares y bosque. Saliendo del puerto local por la avenida Maipú, hacia la Pasarela Luis Pedro Fique, cruzaremos este angosto paso que nos llevará al Barrio La Misión, sitio elegido por los primeros hombres blancos que se establecieron en la zona. Otros barrios a visitar serán los Brown y Solier, habitados por los primeros inmigrantes arribados a mediados y principios de siglo. En nuestro recorrido podremos observar casas antiguas pertenecientes a las primeras familias fueguinas como los Beban, Pastoriza, Canga, Fique, Salomón, Ramos y la Legislatura Provincial, antigua Casa de Gobierno. También podremos observar el contaste y el crecimiento explosivo producido por la llegada de nuevos pobladores a partir de la década de 1980.

Ushuaia, the capital city of Tierra del Fuego, is situated on the coast of the Beagle Channel. Surrounded by the Martial Mounts it offers a unique landscape in Argentina: combining mountains, sea, glaciers and woods.
The excursion begins at the local port on Maipu Avenue driving across the “Pasarela Luis Pedro Fique” towards the “Barrio La Mision”, chosen by the first whites. Next neighbourhoods to be visited are the “Barrio Brown” and the “Barrio Solier” where the first immigrants settled down, and the old houses of the first fueguian families like The Bebans, the Pastorizas, the Cangas, the Fiques, the Salomon were built. You will see as the Province Legislature and the old Government House and the consequences of the rapid development of the city due to the successive waves of immigrants during the 80’s.
