The end of the world

When I say the end of the world I'm not talking about 2012, but about Tierra del Fuego or Land of Fire in the Patagonia, Argentina. When I was searching for cool places in South America to put on my blog I thought that the Patagonia was one of the amazing ones.

“Tierra del Fuego” means in spanish "Land of Fire". At first it was named “Tierra del humo” or “Land of Smoke”. In 1520 when the explorer Ferdinand Magellan visited those lands he thought that he saw flames coming from the ground naturally, but the truth is that the Yaghan( the Indians that lived in Tierra del Fuego) used the fire wood from the trees to keep the place warm and that's why they named it Tierra del Fuego.


Tierra del Fuego have amazing forests, mountains, valleys and lakes which draws attention to every visitor that would like to enjoy the tranquility of nature. Tierra del Fuego is one of the last places in South America that hasn’t be destroy by the pollution or by the human hand, and that’s why the view of Tierra del Fuego is breathtaking to anyone.

Argentina is a wonderful country. They have the tango, good meat and beautiful places. I think that Tierra del Fuego is a wonderful place to relax and to actually enjoy nature. You can fish there, go camping, see museums and see the wildlife. I would recommend it for people that would like to live for some days in a quiet and cold place, but there is one requirement: LEARN SPANISH! (joke)
