우슈아이아-남미최남단도시

 

우수아이아 [Ushuaia]

아르헨티나 티에라델푸에고 주의 수도이자 항구도시.

비글 해협 연안에 자리잡고 있다. 남미 대륙 남쪽 끝에 있는 티에라델푸에고 제도에서 가장 큰 섬에 위치하며, 아르헨티나 본토와는 마젤란 해협을 사이에 두고 있다. 1870년 영국의 선교사인 와스티 H. 스털링이 이곳에 처음 정착했다. 1884년에는 아르헨티나 해군기지가 세워졌고, 티에라델푸에고 제도가 아르헨티나령과 칠레령으로 나누어진 뒤 1893년 시가 되었다. 경제활동으로는 제재·목양·어업·덫사냥을 주로 한다. 세계에서 가장 남쪽에 있는 도시로 유명하다. 인구 64,000(2005).

.

지구의 최남단에 위치한 도시인 우수아이아는 남극과 가까운 위치로 인해 여름철에는 약 18시간정도 해가 떠있고 반면, 겨울철에는 7~8시간 정도밖에 해를 볼 수없다. 그러나 이런 사실들이 한번 찾은 관광객들이 다시 찾는데 방해가 되지는 않는다
우수아이아는 '서쪽을 바라보는 만'이란 의미로 비글해협(Beagle Channel)의 해안가에 위치해 있다.

이 아름다운 도시의 풍광은 최고이다.  숲과 산, 바다, 빙하 그리고 바람이 뛰어난 경치를 이룬다.

이 도시는 서쪽으로는 마샬산(Mount Martial )으로, 동쪽으로는 올리비아산(Mounts Olivia )와 (Cinco Hermanos )

로 둘러 싸여있다

 The inventiveness of its dwellers has helped them become adapted to its whimsical geography. The modern buildings and typical constructions of these latitudes give shape to an extremely picturesque and colorful city in the eye of all visitors.

Its gastronomic and accommodation infrastructure meets all expectations. It welcomes thousands of international visitors that reach Ushuaia lured by the slogan “reach the end of the world”.

A tourist destination indeed, Ushuaia is chosen for the practice of hiking, horse riding, mountain biking, sport fishing and the most spectacular voyages along the Beagle Channel and Lapataia Bay in Tierra del Fuego National Park. The prison at end of the world is another tourist attraction.

In the winter, visitors may enjoy skiing and rides on sleds pulled by dogs at Mount Castor. Its modern chairlifts and its school have turned it into one of the best ski centers in the country.

This is Ushuaia: it has everything for everyone. For some people, it is the end of the world. For others, it is the beginning of everything.

Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world

The city of Ushuaia is located on the shore of the Beagle Channel and surrounded by the Martial Mounts. It is the capital of the Province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctic and Island of the South Atlantic.

Its superlative position allows one to enjoy mountains, sea and forest. In September 1884, an argentine expedition arrives with the purpose of establishing a sub-prefecture; October 12 that same year the argentine flag is hoisted in front of Ushuaia Bay, constituting that date as the official day of the city foundation.

All year long you can entirely enjoy this wonderful city.
In summer there is the adventure tourism: trekking, horse riding, mountain bike riding, fishing and the most incredible rides along Beagle Channel, Cape Horn and Argentine Antarctica.

Tierra del Fuego National Park is another great attraction in order to discover Escondido and Fagnano Lakes, and Martial Glacier. Not very far from this site you can find the small village of Tolhuin, as picturesque as Chepelmut and Yehuin Lakes.

In winter the snowy scenery changes Ushuaia's appearance completely. Only 15 Km. away from the city you have the Mount Castor ski center on Krund Hill.

During fall and spring the scenery is also amazing.

Ushuaia is a paradisiacal place. It's the end of the world , and that is barely enough to say....
