Which Tierra del Fuego National Park Tour Is Right for You?
Every Tierra del Fuego National Park tour on this site compared on price, length, train and park fee, with one clear pick for each kind of traveller.
Three questions settle almost every booking: do you want the End of the World Train, do you have half a day or a whole one, and do you want your own guide. If the answers are “not sure”, “half a day” and “no”, book the Tierra del Fuego National Park Tour, Train Optional (our breakdown). It is the most-booked style of tour, it has hotel pickup, and you can choose the version with or without the train.
The rest of this guide gives one pick for each other answer.

Know before you book
The price shown is usually the tour without the train. On most listings the End of the World Train is a separate option that roughly doubles the price. For an 8 October 2026 departure, the featured tour cost $58 without it and $124 with it.
The park entry fee is extra on almost every tour. It is ARS 40,000 per foreign visitor since 1 June 2026, and children aged 6 and under enter free. The tickets page explains where to buy it.
The long trails are summer-only. The coastal path and the mountain trails open November to April. Winter tours stick to the shoreline stops, which stay open.
Cruise passengers need a tour timed to the ship. A regular hotel-pickup tour can run late for an all-aboard time. See the shore excursions page.
