The Port Area of Ushuaia is the main maritime hub connecting the city to the Beagle
Channel and surrounding islands. From here, boats depart for wildlife cruises, island
visits, and Antarctic expeditions. The harbor reflects Ushuaia’s strong maritime
heritage.
Walking around the port offers views of ships, mountains, and the open channel. The
