Located at the end of Argentina’s legendary Route 3 inside Tierra del Fuego National Park, the Lapataia Bay Viewpoint offers sweeping views of a tranquil fjord where the Andes meet the Beagle Channel. Surrounded by forests, wetlands, and rich birdlife, it is the symbolic “end of the road” in South America, marked by the famous sign that draws travelers from around the world. Importantly, this spot is recognized as the southernmost point on Earth that a vehicle can reach, making it a bucket-list destination for adventurers who want to stand at the literal end of the Pan-American Highway.

IMPORTANT: The viewpoint is inside Tierra del Fuego National Park. To access it, you need to pay the national park entrance fee, which covers all trails, viewpoints, and attractions within the park.

As of the latest info (2025 season), fees are structured roughly as follows:

  • Foreign adults: about AR$12,000

  • Argentine residents: discounted rates (lower than foreign visitors)

  • Children under 6, students, and seniors: often free or reduced entry

The fee is paid once at the park entrance (near Ushuaia) and is valid for the day. It does not include extras such as the End of the World Train ride, guided tours, or transport.
