El fin del mundo, Ushuaia


I had my first sips of mate on Friday while exploring the Beagle Channel on a small boat Friday afternoon. Despite clouds and drizzly weather, we opted to take our chances and see what we could. We hopped on the "Che" con Capitan Leo for a four-hour tour. We had a great time, saw plenty of Sea Lions and comorants. Our crew was big fans of Manu Chao, so we rocked out for awhile, sipping hefeweizen on tap and enjoying the wet (and surprisingly wind-less) weather.
On Saturday we explored Tierra del Fuego national park and hiked about 8 miles through beautiful forests along the beaches of the Bahia de Lapatia. The area was stunning, thick forests running all the way to the cobalt blue waters and surrounded by massive peaks.
