End of December we finally arrived in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Close to Lago Blanco the Valle de los Castores can be found. As the name implies it’s a valley where many beavers live and countless of their impressive constructions can be seen. It’s a two-edged sword. The beavers are not native to this region. Their origin is Canada and they were introduced by humans many years ago. And since there are no predators that hunt beavers in this area (pumas can’t be found that far south) they multiply at a high rate and have a significant impact on the landscape. The Y-85 road is an ambitious project in Tierra del Fuego. In a few years it will connect Yendegaia (which can currently only be reached by boat) with Porvenir. The track to Caleta Maria was really beautiful. And very remote. Besides @cuteroundtheworld we haven‘t seen any other tourists and just a few other cars the whole day. To get there you have to cross two passes with rugged Alpine landscapes. The road to Paso Río Bellavista in Chilean Tierra del Fuego leads through a stunningly beautiful fairy-tale forest. Next, we explored the very remote Chilean Tierra del Fuego. No cellphone coverage, no gas stations, no electricity and only a few off-road tracks. Just perfect! 😁 Close to Porvenir (Tierra del Fuego) you can find one of the rare penguin colonies with King Penguins outside of Antarctica. From Punta Arenas we took the ferry to Porvenir. We were lucky to watch some dolphins next to the ship while crossing the Magellan Strait. Probably the most interesting place in Punta Arenas is the historic cemetery. It‘s very beautiful, large, and definitely worth a visit.
