A little bit of history of the disc Tierra del Fuego where Usguala is

It is When the explorer Magellan sailed around the great island at the tip of South America, he saw Indian campfires all along the coast and called the island Tierra del Fuego, or Land of Smoke. But it was reasoned that where there is smoke there is fire and the named was eventually changed to Tierra del Fuego.

Tierra del Fuego was home to four Indian tribes: Haush, Ona, Yahgan and Alacaluf. Primarily nomadic, they generally dressed in guanaco skins, lived in huts made of sticks, branches and sometimes skins. They hunted with bows and arrows, slings and snares, and fished by harpoons and spears. Unlike Indian tribes to the north, none of the tribes had chiefs or organized religion.

Between the first explorers in the early 1500's & permanent settlers in the late 1800's, there were scientific expeditions, pirates, sealers and whalers passing through, occasionally skirmishing with the Indians and introducing European diseases and otherwise negatively impacting the Indians' way of live. Today there are no true full-blooded Fuegan Indians, the last having died around 1915.

In total the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego covers an area slightly smaller than Ireland, with 70% belonging to Chile. The border runs down the middle of the big island and then down the middle of the Beagle Channel.

Tierra del Fuego is home to several of the world's largest birds, including the rhea, the condor and the albatross. Large animals include guanacos, otters, seals and sea lions.

USHUAIA:

Ushuaia (pop 30,000) began as a prefabricated mission hut along side the huts of Yahgan Indians, in 1869. Thomas Bridges and his wife were the first permanent white settlers, opening a mission in 1870. Sixteen years later the Argentine navy paid a visit to the area and eventually opened a naval base and a convict station.

Southernmost city in Argentina, Ushuaia is situated on the northern shore of the Beagle Channel, its streets steeply climbing towards snow-covered Cerro Martial to the north. There are fine views over the Channel and to snow-capped mountain peaks.

The old prison, the Presidio, houses the Museo Maritimo, the Museo Antartico and the Museo Penitenciario. The Museo Territorial has an interesting display of early photos of the local Indian tribes, the first missionaries and the first pioneers.

Activities you can do in the area:

Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego, just 20 minutes from town. Covering 63,000 hectares of mountains, lakes, rivers and deep valleys, the park stretches west to the Chilean border and north to Lago Fagnano. There are beautiful walks including along a trail at Lapataia Bay. Day trips can take you to Lago Fagnano or Lapataia.

Train to the End of the World also goes into the Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego, following the same route of the convict train 100 years ago, with stops to visit a reconstructed Indian village or the Macarena Waterfalls, and travel through a sub-Antarctic forest. It is a historic and scenic visit.

Cruises along Beagle Channel, along the middle of which runs the southern frontier of Argentina and Chile. View the rugged coast, the cliffs and the lighthouse Les Eclaireurs. Approach Bird Island where a large colony of cormorants and sea gulls share the rocky outcrop with sea lions

Visit the town of Ushuaia, southernmost city in the world that combines streets in different levels with colors in a very attractive way. Visit the “Casco Antiguo”, the port and the rugged streets that climb the mountains. You will get a lot of colorful and different panoramic views. The last stop is at the “Museo del Fin del Mundo” to see artifacts from the Ona and Yaganes Indians and mementos of the Bridges and Harberton families, the first settlers.

Visit to historic Harberton Farm, the oldest estancia on Tierra del Fuego, built in 1886 by the missionary Thomas Bridges. It still operates today as a working farm, mainly with cattle and sheep, and run by the great-grandson Thomas Goodall. It offers an interesting perspective to life in this remote part of the world and a glimpse of the history of the area.
