Arriving in Ushuaia, the city that calls itself the end of the world, the teams can see the city across Beagle Channel as they take taxis to Playa Larga and their next clue.

Towering over Ushuaia, and visible from many areas, are the peaks of Cinco Hermanos, on the right, and Monte Olivia on the left.

On Beagle Channel, surrounded by water, sky and mountains, Ushuaia calls itself the End of the World. Cruise ships dock here for a quick onshore visit. Summer is ideal for trekking, horseback riding, mountain biking, sporting fishing and the most astounding tours along the Beagle Canal, Cape Horn and even the Argentine Antártida.
