South America - Argentina End of The World, not The End yet!

I was lucky, from the thought of the earthquake at Chile on 26Feb2010, the 8 hours delay caused by turbulence dented the aircraft wing on 28Mar2010, the luggage didn't get on and off the flight to Trelew on 1stApr2010, to finally comes to the End of The World!

Knowing La Boca like knowing meaningless price tag for creative mind, watching Buenos Aires El Centro strike and demonstration as whether human right manipulated, seeing no animals in Peninsula Valdes and Punta Tombo afraid of human, understanding traditions in Gaiman, experiencing Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego with Peace simply being at the End of The World, where can you get that?

I took my time. I know I would not want to leave the place, but the most I can do is spending more time there. To fully understand the meaning of travel, not holiday, take your time, don't rush, even you don't get to see all the things, but you will see all the things with your heart, like a mirror!

Talk about mirror, the Beagle Canal around Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego is reflecting themselves in all different time at different places.

Ushuaia airport in Ushuaia, Apr 2010.

With the mountain at the backdrop and Bay of Beagle circulating the inlet, Ushuaia airport sits in the middle with the mountain reflecting in the water. The thought of the most southerly town with a spectacular image is what has lured visitors here for years.  Tourism industry is doing well.

Walking up the hilly Ushuaia, you could see the water with a simply magnificient view as Ushuaia is leaning on the hill.

After heading back to the harbour, another forbidden face of Ushuaia is in view.

It is this paradoxically figure that made it an attractive gateway for many.  Nowaday, other than the booming oil and gas industry, many retirees found refuge here in Ushuaia.

Take the boat tour, you will be sent to the Bridges Isles for a short hike.  From far at the Bridges Isles, it is the postcard look that every tourist took of Ushuaia.  If your lense is powerful, you can most likely took the photo from the boat when it is heading out from the harbour.  This is one I used many times.

Other than far being for its reputation of a pictureque town at the southernmost tip of our land, one thing undoubtedly you will find in Tierra del Fuege while Ushuaia is, it is the Calmest place on earth!
