Continue your journey past the Old Airport, where you may pause for an optional walk to take photographs at this iconic landmark. Next, head to the Old Prison of Ushuaia, which occupies remnants of the old presidio. The city’s remoteness made it an ideal location for a prison, and the first inmates arrived in 1896. Designed to hold 380 prisoners, its cramped cells housed 800 by the time of its closing in 1947.
