End of the World Train & Ensenada Bay ~ Viking Jupiter Optional Tour

Landing in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world and the closest population center to the South Pole was our destination today. The Viking Jupiter pulled into port early in the morning and we were met with overcast skies and drizzle. But that did not deter us! Fortunately, the sun came out and it turned out to be a beautiful day.

Our optional tour, “End of the World Train & Ensenada Bay,” provided interesting vantage points of the Tierra del Fuego National Park. Loads of forests and streams filled with trout. But no fly fishermen! Argentina is a country that loves its beef and lamb. They do not eat fish we were told. 

We boarded the antique wagons of the Ferrocarril Austral Fueguino for a steam-powered locomotive trip across the Pipo River and then the Canadian del Toro before entering the park. We stopped by the Macarena Waterfall and the picturesque waterfront of Bahia Ensenada. Snacks were delicious at the end of our train ride. 

All in all, it was an okay optional tour. If trains are your thing, then this would be of interest. If you’re  more interested in seeing wildlife, then I’d choose another option. I’m not so sure this tour was worth the hefty $189 per person. 

Happy travels,
