Notes
There is an entry fee for the national park.
The park is close to Ushuaia and can be reached by bus, which stops at several points. Inside the park, a historic steam train, built by convicts in the early 20th century, runs a journey lasting about an hour. You don’t have to take it; travelling by bus is more convenient.
