Too many people to be the end of the world. In Ushuaia Argentina is just exhausted and on the roads of gravel and southern solitudes. The Tierra del Fuego has name fable and legend encourages backpackers who decide to cross landscapes to the sea where they stopped. But when one reaches the southernmost city in the world, he deals with the unexpected jolt from the bustle of people.
We came in midsummer, premiering January 1 down south that relieves men with a sun without reservation. The streets of Ushuaia are sorted, with shops to buy chocolate, postcards or covers for mobile. There is too much traffic and teens manage to go for a walk with panache his teens by the boardwalk. The houses have steep roofs studded snow winters predicting, but at that time of year, this place seemed to me ni ni remote Legendario.
Ushuaia is considered la ciudad más al sur del mundo, enough to claim viajeros intrepid collectors badges and geográficos.
Ushuaia boasts sus rankings: tiene el train more southern del mundo, junto a la ski more Southbound, American reels them end up in this place, Like the cordillera de los Andes them the last bays del mundo. As tiene más de diez thousand inhabitants, Ushuaia is considered la ciudad más al sur del mundo, enough to claim viajeros intrepid collectors badges and geográficos.
But, cuando he sailed the Beagle Channel, can see in the distance one more southern population Aun. It was Puerto Williams, Chilean territory, but as the AUN esos tiene diez thousand inhabitants it is without record. It case you're more Southbound Puerto Williams Puerto Toro is encuentra, Chile also and they do claim to be the southernmost location of America. But, much further south, thirty people laugh at the people of Puerto Toro. We must reach King George Island in Antarctica to find Villa de las Estrellas, the last population considered Earth… if not for Argentina permanent base south of the island, in the Bay of Hope, Sergeant Fortin names the Cabrales and, I know, there is just south of the world.
In summary, Ushuaia is north of many people.
In summary, Ushuaia is north of many people. But, Statistical beyond, I found a habitable place. As in Alaska, Ecuador's remote places tend to open its doors in summer and shelter in the heat of the fire in winter.
From Ushuaia for boats crossing Cape Horn, from this point the sailors are preparing for storms, from here, yes, traveling to nothing, to the ice, the world of marine elegant and penguins. And along the coast rise headlights that illuminate the defeat of the ghost ships that want to continue to open sea, to where ice begins, nothing. More than the end, Ushuaia I found the beginning of impossible adventures. This is the last backup of the men who yearn to go to meet new weatherproof.
We spent several days of cold beaches and pleasant conversations in Ushuaia. The tourists we did photos by the sign announcing the end of the world, but the truth is that I could not avoid a nostalgic grin beside the sign. I knew the end of the world, I thought, called Little Diomede Island and it's very far from here.
