Tierra del Fuego National Park, Ushuaia, Argentina

Ushuaia and its surroundings are very wild and beautiful, and we experienced a bit more of it yesterday on a tough coastal walk through the Tierra del Fuego National Park. The area is dominated by beech tree forests, one species of which is evergreen, and so even at this time of the year, the forests are green. We have met up with an Argentinian couple who live in Ushuaia, and they have been incredibly helpful in showing us around. We first met them in the private reserve of Serere back in the Bolivian rain forest.
