Join the Prisoners' Route in Ushuaia and discover a quiet forest trail once used by convicts. Enjoy the fresh air, the tranquility of the surroundings, and a unique glimpse into the city's past. Don't miss it!
The journey takes approximately 30 minutes on foot, crosses part of the forest of Ushuaia and allows to know a bit of history of the city, since by there, until 1949, the train of the prisoners passed, 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 or many 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 photographable 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 sleepers from the small train tracks!

“Nice walk in the outskirts of Ushuaia”
I really enjoyed this tour, it was a lovely walk in the outskirts of Ushuaia. Albano was attentive and I learned a lot of interesting local information from him.
