Ushuaia for Christmas
 

My Wife and I are hoping to be in Ushuaia for Christmas and New year, any recomendations for camping or otherwise? Anything happening over the festive period?. I seem to remember an impromptu meeting taking place down there at that time? We're hoping to make the meeting in Viedema in December
It's the start of our trip North to Alaska

I'll be 600km north from Ushuaia.
I recomend "La Posta Hostel", the owner is a friend of mine and he might lower de price.

If there is something i can help with, just PM me :thumbup1:

Welcome to stay with us if you come to Mexico City. It's a great place to visit so don't believe what people tell you.

Probably be passing by you before, going to Viedema hopefully for the meeting?

We'll keep that in mind, probably be passing in late May sometime (maybe)

Don't thing so. I have to go to Chile during those days BUT i'll be near Viedma during January

And where in Ushuaia are we going to get roast Turkey and brussel sprouts, that what I want to know! :-)

Hope to make the meeting, and on South for Christmas.

Camping Rio Pipo down beside the rugby club on the way out of town towards the national park, run by Reuben and his family. Excellent hot showers, bar, occasional asado (bbq) unmissable. Very friendly people. Just don't pitch tents right by the river - the temperature can be 2-3 degrees lower than up amongst the trees!
Ride safe,
Simon.

Merv, Ushaia then South for Christmas? Antartica? I'll be glad to give the sprouts a miss this year!!

Simon, thats the plan, looks like you found out about the temp difference from experience? :thumbup1:

Lol!, I'd love to go south from Ushuaia, but not sure we can afford those cruises. Love to do one of them.

What I meant was we plan to go to the meeting just above Valdez in the first week of December, then head South to Ushuaia. With or Without the sprouts :-)

with U$S 1000 you can be near Antartica but you have to invite me :innocent:

Manolito, took your advice and just contacted the la posta to see about a room for christmas and the week after but going to camp for new year, hopefully there will be a party at Rio pipobeer

The owner is a friend of mine and he owns a KLR 650, so you are going to have a fantastic time in Ushuaia jeiger

Oh do tell more! :-)
