Bahía Lapataia

As we explore Tierra del Fuego National Park, we’ll reach two iconic landmarks that truly mark the end of the road — Bahía Lapataia and Puerto Arias. Bahía Lapataia, with its calm waters framed by jagged mountains and wind-sculpted trees, is the southern terminus of the
Pan-American Highway, which stretches all the way from Alaska to this remote corner of the world. Standing there feels like reaching the edge of the Earth. Not far beyond lies Puerto Arias, a serene and less-visited spot that offers stunning views across the bay and a quiet moment to take in the raw beauty of the southern wilderness. Both locations remind us just how far south we’ve traveled — and how close we are to Antarctica.
