Things to do Historic Prisoner's Trail in Ushuaia

The journey takes approximately 30 minutes on foot, crosses part of the forest of Ushuaia and allows to know part of the history of the city, since by there, until 1949, passed the train of the prisoners, who cut and transported firewood to supply the city and the Presidio (today Maritime Museum and the Presidio). There is abundant vegetation such as lengas, willows, and several other species of trees, bushes, and wild plants. In addition, you can see or hear some species of birds, and sometimes also some foxes. It is a very peaceful place to walk, since there is clean and fresh air, no disturbing noises, and few passers-by. It is advisable to wear warm clothes and waterproof footwear, as there may be puddles of water and mud. In every season of the year, this trail has its charm, which makes it a very photogenic place. It is a safe place for those who walk there, as motor vehicles such as motorcycles, scooters, cars, etc., are not allowed. One of the most important and outstanding things about this trail is that you can still see some of the sleepers from the small train tracks!
