Emplacement et comment s'y rendre

The "End of the World Sign" is situated along Ruta Nacional 3, approximately 8 kilometers west of Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego, Southern Patagonia. The sign marks the symbolic southern terminus of the Pan-American Highway, offering a picturesque backdrop of the Beagle Channel.

• By Car: From Ushuaia, take RN 3 westward toward Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego. The sign is clearly visible on the roadside, with limited parking available.
• By Taxi: A 10-minute ride from Ushuaia’s city center; negotiate a round-trip fare as return taxis may be scarce.
• By Tour: Many local operators include the sign as part of half-day excursions to the national park or Beagle Channel.

Heures d'ouverture et billets

The site is an open-air landmark accessible year-round, day or night, with no entrance fees or tickets required.
