When my wife and I visited Ushuaia, one of the first stops we made was to this Tourist Center. While the center is not very large, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The center provides clean restrooms, seating as well as a variety of complimentary brochures and maps. Even more appreciated was a complimentary stamp to our passports along with a complimentary signed certificate confirming our visit to the bottom tip of Argentina! This Tourist Center is a great starting point for any first visit to Ushuaia as it provides a wealth of information that will enhance the journey around this beautiful city.

Mail sent from this Argentinian post office occupying a small structure on stilts above Ensenada Zaratiegui in Tierra del Fuego National Park travels around the globe.

Sitting on stilts above Ensenada Zaratiegui in Tierra del Fuego National Park is a corrugated structure that houses what may be the world's southernmost post office. When we were here, there was one Argentinian postal worker inside, absolutely swamped by tourists buying stamps and postcards to mail home. TIPS: * Credit cards not accepted. You need Argentinian pesos. Lots of disappointed tourists walked away empty-handed. No exceptions. * There are other knick-knack items for sale, not just stamps and postcards. * You'll likely be home before your postcards arrive! We sent greetings to our granddaughters in the U.S. It took four weeks for one postcard to reach Maryland, six weeks for the other to reach Virginia (perhaps because we didn't use the zip code). * Don't forget to take a photo of this isolated but beautiful setting to show to the folks back home who got your postcard from here. * Don't miss Senda Costera (Coastal Path), a beautiful hiking trail a short distance from the post office (see my review, "A walk on the wild side").

I was very impressed with this Visitor Centre. It is a grand building with an awesome scenic backdrop. We arrived on a tour bus. Clean and large bathrooms. Had a lamb empanada in the cafeteria and it was very reasonably priced and very good. Gift shop had a huge variety of items, and the small musuem area was interesting. It was well worth the stop.
