Getting Around
The best way to get around Tierra del Fuego is by air or
long-distance bus. Both Ushuaia and Río Grande have
international airports; regular bus services run between
the two cities (journey time 8 hours) and link both cities
to the Argentinian mainland. Journeys to the mainland
from the archipelago cross the Argentina-Chile border
and foreign passports will be stamped at the border
control. Medium-sized icebreakers and ice-proof cruise
ships depart from Ushuaia for Antarctica, each with
Zodiac landing craft for onshore excursions. Icebreakers
also carry on-board helicopters.
