What you can expect

We will take the train at the End of the World Station. On board the train you will be able to hear the storey of the prisoners who came daily to cut wood to this area, and delight in magnificent landscapes, composed of the zigzagging Pipo River, the La Macarena waterfall, the tree cemetery and the majestic forest of lengas In this way you will visit an inaccessible part of the Tierra del Fuego National Park, where you can enjoy this experience aboard a vintage railway, with its steam locomotives and elegant cars that have large windows and an individual audio system, the which offers the possibility of listening to the storey in 7 different languages, in order to not only appreciate the nature that surrounds it, but also know a very important part of the history of Ushuaia.

The train crosses the Cañadón del Toro and crosses the Pipo River over the so-called Puente Quemado, where the wooden remains of the old bridge are found under the new tracks. When crossing the Bridge, you access the first stop; La Macarena Station, as well as you can also see the changing Pipo River, a typical river formed by meltwater, which descends from the mountains and flows into the Beagle Channel.

La Macarena Station is a place of historical interest where the prisoners' train used to stop to provide water to the tanks of the steam locomotive called La Coqueta. At this stop it is possible to ascend to a viewpoint that offers an unparalleled view of the Pipo River Valley, Cerro Guanaco, Cerro la Portada and Mount Susana. Ascending towards the upper part, it will be possible to reach the source of the La Macarena waterfall in the Le Martial Mountain Range, which is formed by melting ice that originates at the top of said mountain. Also here you will find the prisoners who will offer you the photographic service. After a few minutes, the guards' whistle will call everyone to calmly return to the train and it will restart its march towards the Tierra del Fuego National Park.

Once on board the train again, the trip continues to the National Park Station, contemplating the magnificent landscape offered by mountains and valleys near its border. On board each training our guides, tourism professionals, will be able to inform you everything related to the history of the original prisoners' train and about the different geographical characteristics of flora, fauna as well as what can be seen during the tour in case if you have any doubts about it.
