Where to stay in Tierra del Fuego

Ushuaia's accommodation is split into two categories. First, the hotels right in the hustle and bustle of town, close to the port and restaurants. These hotels are comfortable, central, and perfect if you're just looking for somewhere to come back to after a day exploring.

If you're after the 'wow' factor, then it's the hotels out of town which have a bit more sparkle; they tend to have better views of the Beagle Channel, one even has a spa and infinity pool looking out from the mountains.

As a base to explore Navarino Island, Errante Ecolodge is a unique and inspiring choice. Their excursions include treks to the island’s best lookouts, kayaking the Beagle Channel, bird watching, and cultural visits to Puerto Williams and the nearby ethno-botanical park. For those seeking deeper adventure, it’s an ideal place to base yourself before and after the Dientes de Navarino trek. You’ll also find thoughtful architecture, a strong sustainability focus, and a creative, community-driven atmosphere that sets it apart.

The rugged landscape of Tierra del Fuego is speckled with lodges and rustic accommodations, where you can immerse yourself in Fuegian culture and explore the scenery right from your front door. Our favourites sit on the shores of secluded lakes, like Hostería Kaiken on the edge of Lago Fagnano, where you can kayak, trek, bird-watch or fish with unobstructed views in every direction.

Horse riding has been an integral part of the history here, and working estancias still exist where you can experience traditional Patagonian hospitality and ride during the day. Estancia Cabo San Pablo, set near the dramatic wreck of the Desdemona, offers a raw, windswept escape at this far-flung corner of the world. 

Punta Arenas, although not technically in Tierra del Fuego, is the gateway to Chilean Tierra del Fuego by air, boat and road. The options here are basic and comfortable; it's an easy-going town without a huge amount of luxury, but there's more than enough to provide a good night's sleep before stepping into the next part of your adventure.
