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. . .

Overview of your Ushuaia tour

Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia particularly were difficult to populate mostly for its location and weather. There were many attempts to bring Argentinians down to Ushuaia and one of them was the creation of a Penal Colony in the late 1800s. Did you know prisoners built most of it? And did you know that as there is not a lot of native wildlife many animal species were introduced in the area around the 40s and 50s? During our tour you will discover which ones and learn about the impact they had on this fragile environment. I'm very passionate about my city and enjoy sharing all my knowledge with my travelers. So come and join me on this trips that combines both history and nature as you will learn about the beginnings of the city and we will drive through one of the most spectacular areas with jagged mountains and amazing lakes. This Tours has it all!
