Hi! I'm Barbara and I've been working as a Professional tour guide in Ushuaia since 2002. Ever since I was a teenager I wanted to be a tour guide. I love meeting new people and being able to share part of my culture and history. I studied in Buenos Aires and graduated as a Tour guide in the year 2000. After doing a master's degree in Spain I came back to Argentina and decided I didn't want to live in a big city anymore. So I chose Ushuaia as my new home, and moved here in 2002. I soon started working for a local company and after a few years I was hired to work as a trip leader taking American groups to Antarctica and Patagonia. I met my husband in Ushuaia, and we now have two little girls who share our passion for nature. Working as a tour guide is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. I'm very passionate about my country, and love to talk about anything passengers are interested in. I'm very friendly and knowledgeable about my city, our traditions and history and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you. As every person is different and has different interests, I'm more than willing to organize the kind of tour you need, so don't hesitate and ask! If you take a tour with me, I'll make sure you visit and enjoy Ushuaia in a different way, offering an insight of what life is like in this part of the world. The End of the World awaits your visit! See you soon. . . Tierra del Fuego National Park licence, issued by the Argentina's National Park authority Tierra del Fuego Province licence, issued by the local authorities Ushuaia's Port admission licence, issued by Port authorities As a licensed Tour guide I have no restriction to work within the province. I hold the credentials for both the National Park and the Tierra del Fuego Province.

Overview of your Ushuaia tour

Tierra del Fuego Island was first spotted by Magellan in 1520, but it wasn't until the mid 1800s when missionaries and whalers got interested in this part of the world. Do you know why? Did you know the coast of the Beagle channel was inhabited by native Indians who lived in a very strange way? So if you want to learn about this and much more, join me on this tour, where you will also learn about Thomas Bridges, a missionary who settled in Ushuaia in 1870, founded the Anglican Mission and later built Harberton Ranch, the first ranch of the Island which was later declared a National Monument. During our tour we will drive through valleys and mountains, enjoying a breathtaking scenery and learning about local wildlife including beavers. I'm sure you will feel transported in time!
