Nostalgie pur- gute Audioguides und schöne Landschaft. Unbedingt danach die Wanderung zum Postamt am Ende der Welt und um die Lapataia zum Alakush Visitor Center machen. Eine Strecke dauert ca. 2 1/2 Stunden bei mäßigem Schritttempo und zwei Pausen. Am Visitor Center kann man für den Rückweg nach Ushuaia Taxen buchen, es gibt aber auch Shuttlebusse, die vorher in Ushuaia gebucht werden müssen.

Ein Erlebnis mit für Bahn Spurbreite 60 cm zu fahren. Super wagen mit Polster und Durchsagen und Info auch im Deutsch. Im Grossen Schritttempo durch die Landschaft fahren und geniessen. Nicht wie früher die Gefangenen! Dampfloks in verschiedenen Ausführungen.

It is short train ride of less than 30 minutes, but they add a stop of another 15-30 minutes to climb nearby hill. Waterfall there is tiny, especially in summer when most tourists arrive. Scenery is quite ordinary as well, especially for USA visitors who have seen USA National Parks. Individual tourists tickets for foreigners are US$28 each. Not worth it.

Die Zugfahrt ist recht touristisch. Aber die Anlage ist historisch. Natürlich wurde es renoviert und neu gestaltet. Man lernt unterwegs über Kopfhörer sehr viel interessantes über die Geschichte der Bahn und die Gefangenen die sie gebaut haben. Über die Geschichte Ushuaia s . Trotz der touristische Ambiente sehr empfehlenswert.

A lovely, scenic, and quaint replica train ride on the old convicts route. The ride is best described as being on a mobile museum tour, the historical context and description of what you are seeing in the landscape makes the journey come alive. For kids, families, those who want some lovely sights without walking for hours through possibly muddy trails, it's a definite win. If you want to go hiking and climbing in the national park, then go do that. This is something else, a more curated experience. Highly recommend! 10/10

A fun and interesting experience. The historic station is beautifully preserved and decorated. Cafe, souvenirs etc. available. Train ride about 2 hours with a 20 minute stop at a waterfall along the way. The multilingual narration on earphones about the origins of the Ushuaia prison and railway is very interesting. Online bookings in advance recommended, both for train and the Parque National. Note: check Spam folder for the train ticket/QR code if not received after payment. Staff at the ticket office very helpful and fully bilingual.

What a great experience; beautiful vistas and interesting history.

Very well organized; perfectly maintained; not too crowded because of train capacity...

The people are super organized, professional, friendly & helpful.

Nice trip with old railway and scenic views on the route. They have a 'surprise' during a stop, some people may find it cool but I was indifferent. In the train, there are audio guides in multiple languages and earbuds were provided by company.
