Surrounded by mountains, breathtaking Alpine lakes and filled with adventure, Ushuaia—at the edge of the world, is different from what you might imagine.
We stood on a peak of the Andes mountain range and sipped champagne even as a wicked wind ripped into us like a samurai’s sword. We were surrounded by jagged peaks, huge seismic knots that bulged over the earth. Below us spread the Argentinian resort town of Ushuaia, a tumble of charming buildings on a steep hill, which bills itself as “the end of the world.” Our HeliUshuaia chopper stood by, blades whirring, and we felt like actors in a James Bond movie, ready to make a dramatic escape from a bunch of hoodlums.
