    Starting to plan a short getaway, there is still one big destination in Argentina that we both have never been to: Ushuaia.

    Whenever I asked to people who visited it, I got mixed answers. Some said it was not that much, some loved it.

    I think 4 days should be enough. I like a stroll in the nature, but I am no heavy hiker.

    What I am interested into is walking on the glacier, sailing the Beagle Canal, visit the national park and see penguins and other fauna.

    Any recommendation is appreciated!

    I last visited about 15 years ago on a two day business visit .

    My recollections of the worlds most southernmost city are positive

    It has a big duty free store downtown which has fairly decent prices . I think that is still the case - it is managed by the company who runs the big store in Puerto Iguazu , close to the Argentine border post.

    Unfortunately I cannot remember the places where I ate - too long ago and too many dinners and lunches since then

    I've always wanted to visit there even years before I was abducted by an Argentine female. We would have gone by now if it wasn't for the dogs. Definitely worth a visit just to get it off your places to see list.

    A mate of mine, the same chap who rode down to Madryn with me is just on his way back from there, via Trevelin.

    If you like to eat fresh crab it would seem to be the place to go.
