Tierra del Fuego is an archipelago located at the southernmost tip of South America, divided between Chile and Argentina. The largest island, also called Tierra del Fuego, is known for its rugged terrain, including mountains, forests, and glaciers. The region is characterized by its unique wildlife and diverse ecosystems.
The name "Tierra del Fuego," meaning "Land of Fire" in Spanish, comes from the sight of indigenous Yaghan people’s campfires observed by European explorers. The archipelago is home to the Tierra del Fuego National Park, which offers opportunities for hiking, wildlife watching, and experiencing the stunning natural beauty of the area.
