The End of the World Train
The train, besides traveling along a picturesque route, tells the story of the prisoners who served their sentences in Ushuaia. In the past, it departed from the prison and reached Monte Susana, where inmates gathered materials for construction. Currently, the journey begins at the End of the World Station, located 8 kilometers from the city, and after approximately one hour, it arrives at the last station near the entrance to the National Park. If you have booked a tour in advance, guides will be waiting for you there to explore the park; otherwise, you will return by train to the main station.

Train in Ushuaia

Great experience we will never forget
Very punctual pick up. Amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and nice. The train is something out of a fairytale and Tierra de Fuego National Park is beautiful. Very nice amenities in the park as well. Once in a lifetime experience.
via Tripadvisor
Stunning park, skip the train, its a tourist gimmick.
This is a good tour...but...!Tierra del Fuego national park is stunning and a Must see, Ushuaia is a nice City(?), we were picked up and dropped off, great guide (sorry cant remember her name). But the train trip is a complete waste of time. The whole time could be better spent elsewhere, Between getting to the station for your allotted time a little early, ( we had to drive out of the park to catch the train back in!!!!), having to have your photo taken with jolly "prisoners", stopping 10 minutes down the track for another 30 minutes (and to buy your photo) and little in the way of scenery on the entire journey on an extremly cramped little train!!! Save time and money and avoid the train part.

Beautiful
The train ride is too beautiful, the train goes slowly in the middle of a beautiful landscape, quickly stops at Macarena station and follows to the National Park. The train is fully heated, with headphones to listen to the story with a choice of 7 languages (one of them Portuguese). On board are men fancied like the prisoners of old, super friendly and fun, take a photo before boarding that is offered at Macarena station, but unfortunately too expensive (20000 pesos which is equivalent to today almost 100 reais). In the park the passengers land and go to the park (compare the complete tour), the park has a beautiful view, but the visiting part is extremely small and narrow.
via Tripadvisor (translated)
It's worth it and especially if you get the Regina guide to Patagonia Chic. Beautiful place to visit, views, history. Obligated place if you come to Ushiaia

Ushuaia : National Park Tour with End of the World Train: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ushuaia.
How much does Ushuaia : National Park Tour with End of the World Train cost?
+

How long does Ushuaia : National Park Tour with End of the World Train take?

Plan for about 6 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 Ushuaia : National Park Tour with End of the World Train worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Ushuaia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ushuaia : National Park Tour with End of the World Train?

+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ushuaia : National Park Tour with End of the World Train?

Around 6 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.

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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

+
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?
+
