Skip the train!
The national park is gorgeous and worthwhile but the train is certainly not! They charge $65CAD per person to go barely 1km! The views from the train are nothing you can’t see in a car and a car is needed to go to most of the sites in the park. The train does not take you to the post office or the end of the pan American highway. Save your money and rent a car or taxi to explore the park
Response from the operator: Dear traveller, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate all comments, as they help us continue improving our service. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the national park—it is indeed a remarkable place. At the same time, we are sorry to learn that the train experience did not meet your expectations. Allow me to clarify that the journey covers a longer distance than mentioned and is designed not primarily as transportation, but as a historical and scenic experience, recreating the route once used by prisoners many years ago. The focus of the experience is to offer a different perspective of the landscape, along with onboard service and storytelling, rather than serving as a means to reach specific points within the park. We understand that each visitor has different preferences, and for those looking to explore the park more extensively and at their own pace, traveling by car can indeed be a suitable alternative. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Ushuaia. Kind regards,

Relaxing and historical
I really enjoyed this experience - the bit of history they share over the headsets on the way to and from the Park, the stop at the Cascada Macarena, and the communication and help of the staff. I was on the first train so I could do some hiking in the Park before going back, and the agent was extremely helpful in letting me know what hikes I could - and shouldn't! - do in order to make it back in time for the last train. The ride itself was very serene and relaxing, and I would do it again.

Beautiful Train Ride!
Beautiful day for a train ride! Two hour ride out and back (you can get off at the National Park station, just make sure you have a pre-arranged ride, there were a couple of taxis available). Recorded information via supplied headphones was informative about the history of the railway and Ushuaia prison. Staff was very friendly and courteous, speaking Spanish and English. They do say no drinking or eating while onboard but nearly ever was enjoying a snack and their “Mate” with no hassle from the staff.

Save your money and skip this tourist trap
Tourist trap from the moment we arrived at the train station. Not worth the price of the ticket when they pack you like sardines into these tiny rail cars. It is painfully slow, which I think is done on purpose to give you the impression of getting your money’s worth. The saddest part is there is nothing scenic about the ride. For the majority of it, you are just staring at trees in a forest. There are no awe inspiring vistas or scenic overlooks. Save your money and skip this.

Would recommend it
We believe it’s a must - great get around the park and it uncovers a very interesting piece of history. However, note that it’s very relaxed, takes only a few hours - definitely touristy - and you can easily combine it with another activity (we did the Esmeralda hike right after!).

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
End of the World Train Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ushuaia.
How much does End of the World Train Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ushuaia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does End of the World Train Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ushuaia is not rushed.
Is End of the World Train Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 718 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ushuaia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule End of the World Train Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is End of the World Train Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book End of the World Train Ticket?
+
Around 251 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ushuaia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ushuaia and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does End of the World Train Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ushuaia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ushuaia?
+
On Outty we rank every Ushuaia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking and Premium Floe Lagoon, King Crab Route 4WD Off Road with lunch in Puerto Almanza, Tierra del Fuego National Park – Small Groups. Optional Train. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ushuaia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ushuaia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in End of the World Train Ticket?
+
Included: Ticket/Pass. Not included: Entrance to Tierra del Fuego National Park is NOT included and must be purchased to board. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

The experience starts at The End of the World Train, Estacion del Fin del Mundo, Route 3 KM 3065, 5, Ushuaia, 9410, Argentina. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is End of the World Train Ticket offered in?
