The southernmost working railway on Earth was built to carry firewood, not passengers. Convicts of the Ushuaia penal colony laid the first narrow-gauge track along the Pipo valley around 1909, hauling timber back to a settlement that had almost none. The line served the prison until the mid-twentieth century, then fell silent for four decades. It returned in 1994 as the Tren del Fin del Mundo, which is why most end of the world train tickets price tour listings describe a heritage service rather than a means of transport. Tierra del Fuego National Park, established in 1960, surrounds the route with 68,909 hectares of lenga and ñire forest, peat bog and glacial valley. It remains the only Argentine national park with an ocean coastline. Ruta Nacional 3 ends inside it, at Lapataia Bay, 3,079 kilometres south of Buenos Aires, and a plain wooden sign marks the fact without ceremony. Its bird list runs to dozens of species, from austral parakeets to the Andean condor. The train enters this landscape at walking pace, which is the point: the forest stays close enough to read, tree by tree. The rebuilt line runs on 500-millimetre gauge, roughly seven kilometres from Estación del Fin del Mundo to Estación Parque. Departures leave from the station at Ruta 3 KM 3065, west of central Ushuaia. Steam locomotives, among them Camila and the Ingeniero L. D. Porta, work the grade in the traditional manner, heated carriages trailing behind. Halfway along, the train pauses at Cascada La Macarena, where a short path climbs to a viewpoint above the falls and a reconstructed Yámana shelter recalls the canoe people who wintered on these shores. Beyond it lies the Cementerio de Árboles, a slope of axe-cut stumps left by prison logging gangs a century ago, still standing, silvered and bare. That double reading — engineering relic and ecological corridor — explains the durable pull of Ushuaia landmarks such as this one. Magellanic woodpeckers work the dead lengas overhead; introduced North American beavers have dammed the side streams since 1946. Most end of the world train tickets price tours now pair the seven-kilometre rail journey with the wider park circuit, which is how a prison tramway and a protected wilderness came to share a single afternoon.

A step-by-step walkthrough of the visit — what you'll see, how long each stage takes, and the details that matter.
Your morning begins in central Ushuaia, where most end of the world train tickets price tickets include pickup and the short run west along Ruta 3 to the station at KM 3065. You settle the park entry before boarding — the conservation fee is 40,000 ARS per foreign adult — then wait on a low wooden platform while the locomotive is coupled and steam drifts across the yard. You duck into a carriage barely wider than your shoulders. The train pulls out at walking pace, crosses the Pipo River, and takes the grade with the valley opening to one side. Partway along, you step down at Cascada La Macarena. You climb the stairway to the mirador, look back at the falls, then follow the loop past the reconstructed Yámana shelter before the whistle calls you in. The second leg runs through the stump field, and you catch yourself counting axe marks. At Estación Parque you leave the rails and continue on foot: the Lapataia trails, the beaver dams on the Río Ovando, the sign where Ruta 3 stops. Your driver collects you there, so you carry nothing but a camera for the last stretch of gravel.
