Ushuaia is a city located in the province of Tierra del Fuego, in the southernmost part of Argentina, commonly referred to as the "end of the world" because of its location at the southern tip of South America. It is the capital of Tierra del Fuego and has a population of approximately 80,000 people.

Ushuaia is surrounded by the Martial mountain range and the Beagle Channel, and is known for its stunning natural beauty and wildlife. Visitors can take part in outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, and kayaking. The city is also the gateway to Tierra del Fuego National Park, which is known for its diverse flora and fauna, including species such as the Andean condor, the Magellanic woodpecker, and the Patagonian fox.

In addition to its natural attractions, Ushuaia has a rich history, as it was once a penal colony and the last stop for prisoners before Antarctica. Today, visitors can tour the old prison and learn about the history of the region at the Museo Maritimo y del Presidio de Ushuaia. The city also has a thriving tourism industry, with many hotels, restaurants, and shops catering to visitors.
