[Tren del Fin del Mundo] I rode on the "prison train" that runs to the end of the world.

Ushuaia is the southernmost city in Argentina. From there departs a train with a romantic name: End of the World (Tren del Fin del Mundo). A steam locomotive runs slowly through the forests and marshes of Patagonia. This is not just a tourist train. The tracks are engraved with memories of the past. This place was once a penal colony. It is said that this train was also a "prison train" used by prisoners to cut down trees in the forest. Knowing this background adds a little more weight to this quiet landscape. And at the end of the train's journey, a little treat awaits. The southernmost post office in the world (Correo del Fin del Mundo) stands quietly. You can actually send a letter from here. "A letter arriving from the end of the earth" is a performance that tickles the hearts of travelers. ⸻ 📍Location Depart from Estación del Fin del Mundo station, on the outskirts of Ushuaia About 15-20 minutes by taxi from the city center 🕰️Operating hours and travel time One way: about 1 hour, round trip: about 2 hours 2-3 flights per day ・Round trip tickets and child fares available ・Postcards and stamps can also be purchased at the post office (cash recommended) ⸻ 🌟Points learned from the experience ・A "silent journey" that slowly moves through the wilderness where only the sound of the wind resonates ・The meaning of the scenery changes when you ride after learning about the history of the prisoner train ・The view from the train window is a refreshing sight, typical of Patagonia ・The post office is a photogenic and memorable spot. The staff are also friendly ⸻ #TrenDelFinDelMundo #EndoftheWorld #Ushuaia #PrisonTrain #SouthernmostPostOfficeintheWorld #PatagoniaRailway #TravelinArgentina #SceneryattheEndoftheEarth #AroundtheWorld
