The Austral Fueguino Railway begins its journey starting from the End of the World station. The first stop is at the "Cascada La Macarena" station, during this stop it is possible to ascend to a viewpoint that offers a fabulous view of the Pipo river valley, from there the train will follow the route of this river and we will be able to appreciate the southernmost landscapes in the world. .
You can enjoy lunch on the train or a lunch box depending on the option you wish to purchase. The visit to the National Park is an important part of this tour. This visit can be done in a group or with your own guide if you select the Private Park visit that is included in the Premium service.

This excursion cost US$210 via Holland America ship Oosterdam as part of a 33 day South America holiday with Travelmarvel. Even US$50 would have been way too much. This is the worst excursion I have ever been on. I had looked it up on u-tube and it looked fantastic but not so. When we arrived we were hurried on to the platform only to be pounced on by people dressed as convicts wanting to have their photo taken with you. The train whilst it looks great is far from it. The carriages are very narrow and we were seated 6 to a section, 3 people facing each other with so little space our knees were almost touching. It was hard to get the correct channel for the english commentary. We had 1 stop where we could get out and look but the main purpose of this stop was so the tourist could buy one of the photos we were almost forced to have taken. This photo cost US$8, I didnt buy one. The rest of the journey through the national park was quite pleasant, then we had an announcement that we were at the end and had to get the bus to somewhere else to go to the shop where you could have your passport stamped if you wanted to. Then the bus trip back to the port.
I have never been so disappointed in all my life with an excursion, and an expensive one at that. All the people on travel marvel tour who chose to do this excursion were likewise disappointed.
After our holiday finished we were asked to comment on this excursion. It was only when we got on to the Holland America site for this comment did I see the vast amount of comments just like mine, had I been able to find this site before booking the excursion I would have chosen another one.
The only thing I can say is DON'T DO IT.

Arrived via Celebrity Eclipse. Took excursion via bus to the National Park then offloaded to a powered catamaran through Beagle Sound back to the port. Windy but beautiful. Loved it.

Great tour guide was doing the tour in two languages which is extremely hard. The trouble with this tour is the places were boring. Just not worth the money

A worthwhile stop to the Terra Feuga National park. Lots of nature to see. Walk around the lake and stop over at the visitor center at Alakush. The tour also stop at the end of the world or Baia Lapataia. The last point of South America before entering Antarctica Magellan straits.

The train to the end of the world was amazing! It was full of history and lots of stuff to see! Our tour had several people who didn't want to take the train and just went with the van to the pickup point at the end of the train tour for the rest of the trip. The whole trip was informative and our guide Sophia provided all of us a great tour of the flora and fauna of the area as well as the geology and peoples in the area (including the original natives and the prisoners and the guards who were relocated there). At the end she suggested some places we might want to go shopping for the things we wanted to purchase. It was an excellent tour!

Disappointing as we were booking the tour with optional premium class lunch and drinks and were told by Viator rep that this is what we would receive however; when we obtained our tickets for the train we discovered we were booked in tourist class and not the premium class we were told we would receive. I was unable to upgrade at my own additional cost because premium class was sold out. Very disappointed with the purchase. Our tour guide, Damian was very good . Only plus on tour.
