In today's video, we're going to visit the post office at the end of the world! Made of corrugated metal and wood and heated by a small wood-burning stove, this tiny post office sits atop a pier on the shores of the Beagle Channel in Tierra del Fuego National Park. This post office is the last chance to send mail before reaching Antarctica. The exterior of the post office is plastered in stickers from travellers who’ve reached this place from all corners of the world, and inside the walls are covered in postcards and currencies from faraway lands.
If you do visit, don't forget to bring your passport because you can get it stamped here - a nice souvenir from your visit to the southernmost post office!
After visiting the post office at the end of the world, we decided to hike the coastal trail, which is an 8-kilometre trail that runs between the post office and the visitor's centre. It's a nice, easy hike with little elevation gain and takes between 3-4 hours to complete. The trail follows the shores of the Beagle Channel, goes past little coves, and also winds through sections of forest.
If you're going to be visiting Ushuaia, Argentina it's worth the day trip to visit the national park and the southernmost post office.
