Tierra del Fuego National Park

Tierra del Fuego National Park is a protected area in the Argentine portion of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, representing the southernmost national park in Argentina and one of the country's few coastal parks.

Located just 11 kilometers west of Ushuaia, the park serves as a gateway to Patagonia and holds the southern terminus of the Pan-American Highway within its boundaries. The park's coastal position along the Beagle Channel and its proximity to the Chilean border create a landscape of international significance, representing a transition between South American and subantarctic ecosystems.
