El Viejo Marino Review

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the plane ✈️ landed on time at Ushuaia Airport. It was drizzling outside the window 🌧️, and the whole city was covered by dark clouds. After picking up the luggage 🧳, contact the staff at the TAXi counter at the airport. He will take you outside the airport and arrange a taxi for you 🚕. The taxi price in Ushuaia is similar to that of UBER in Buenos. The airport is very close to the city, about 20 minutes by car. After arriving at the hotel to store the luggage, start the rain walking mode Ushuaia is a very quiet and beautiful town. This beauty does not come from scenic spots or landmark buildings, but comes from the bones and can be felt anytime and anywhere. There are many seaport towns in the world, and there are also many towns at the foot of snow-capped mountains 🏔️, but Ushuaia combines the two. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, colorful 🌈 houses are built on the mountain and extend to the port. The town has a large drop in altitude, with an altitude of dozens of meters in just three or five blocks. At noon, the rain gradually stopped. The town washed by the rain 🌧️ was particularly clean, the ground was spotless, and the fresh air was refreshing. We climbed from the beach to the middle of the mountain, and then returned to the beach from the middle of the mountain. We wandered aimlessly and squandered our time until the sunset, admiring the different postures of the town in the changing light and shadow, watching the lights of the cruise ship to Antarctica light up. This is the look of fireworks at the end of the world, and this is the correct way to open Ushuaia. Of course, it’s not that Ushuaia has no attractions. There is the Tierra del Fuego National Park⛲️ where you can hike freely, and take a boat 🚢 to the southernmost lighthouse in the world to see posters 🦭, sea lions, and penguins 🐧. 1️⃣ Tierra del Fuego, you can choose to join a tour group, or you can go to the bus station to buy a round-trip ticket to explore on your own. It takes about half a day to join a tour group. I personally recommend exploring on your own, which gives you plenty of time to fully experience different scenery. The ticket + bus ticket is about 300 RMB 2️⃣ Going out to sea by boat, there is a row of beautiful cabins at the pier, where you can buy tickets to go out to sea. There are more lighthouses and sea lions and seals. The ticket price is more than 300 RMB and it takes about 2 hours 3️⃣ I will write about these two trips in detail in the near future In addition, I also saw near the pier The blue double-decker sightseeing bus 🚌 can explore the scenery of the town from a longer distance and in more depth Exchange rate 💰 Ushuaia is the place with the worst exchange rate on this trip. In April 2024, the exchange rate was 980 to 1 US dollar in Buenos, and 900 to 1 US dollar here Shopping 🛍️ Shopping in Ushuaia is considered cheap in Argentina. The same souvenirs are twice as expensive in El Calafate as here Food 🍴 1️⃣Maybe it’s due to the season. I went to the famous Old Captain Restaurant twice but there was no whole king crab 🦀. The king crabs in the Chinese restaurant Bamboo are pitifully small and quite expensive 2️⃣There is an Argentine grilled lamb chops restaurant on the beach that is highly recommended. Three whole lamb racks are grilled on an open fire and cut as they are grilled. The taste is simply amazing Accommodation🏠 Most hotels in Ushuaia are concentrated near the beach, which is very convenient for travel, while most homestays are concentrated halfway up the mountain. Although you need to climb a mountain, you have a good view and can overlook the harbor. You can choose according to your personal preferences Public security👮 Ushuaia has very good public security. There are still crowds on the streets at 11 or 12 o'clock at night, and there is no need to worry about theft #Find a small town to walk around #You haven't seen new ways to play #Travel in the ancient style #Niche Discovery Club #Relaxation Place

A huge king crab in Ushuaia only costs 300+ RMB‼ ️ If you list the reasons why you have to travel to Argentina🇦🇷, one of them must be the outrageous, touching, earth-shattering, and unbelievable prices💥 Due to severe inflation, people have no confidence in their own currency and hope to exchange it for US dollars to preserve its value💵. So a magical phenomenon appeared: the official exchange rate is 1 US dollar to 176 pesos, but the private exchange rate (also known as blue dollar) is 1 US dollar to 320~340 pesos, almost twice‼ ️ The private exchange rate is also the legal exchange rate, which can be exchanged at Western Union Bank or street shops and hotel front desks. What's even more outrageous is that in order to attract foreign tourists, the Argentine Central Bank announced in November that overseas credit cards will also be calculated according to the private exchange rate, and even if you don't exchange banknotes, you can enjoy "half-price" prices💰 It can only be said that it is hard for locals and benefit foreign tourists‼ ️ . Let's take a look at how touching the prices are when calculated based on the private exchange rate of 1:320 👉Steak🥩: about 1600-3800p (5-12 knives) 👉Ushuaia king crab🦀: 15000-19000p (46-59 knives) 👉Uber taxi in the city: about 500-1200p (1.5-4 knives) 👉4-star hotel with breakfast: 11000p (35 knives) 👉One-day tour to Colonia, Uruguay with a round-trip luxury boat: 12600p (39.7 knives) 👉Half-day tour of Buenos Aires with a bus: 5104p (16 knives) 👉Taxi starting price: 225p (0.7 knives) during the day, 275p (0.86 knives) at night ) 👉Subway: 42p (0.13$) wherever you go 👉Peak season air ticket A330 can lie flat in business class 3.5 hours to Ushuaia: 71494p (224$) 👉Tango + string music + singing interactive performance with dinner: 13800p (43$) Note: The above prices may fluctuate at any time due to exchange rates . Because it is a large agricultural and animal husbandry country, the price of food is even only 1/3 of that abroad, especially meat🥩, it can be said to be a paradise for foodies, and you don’t have to consider the price when looking at the menu🍷 Of course, for imported food, clothing, luxury goods, and electronic products, the price will be raised first, and the folk exchange rate is not much different from that abroad, so don’t think this is a dg paradise. . ---🔎tips--- ☑️Before coming here, take more US dollar bills to exchange for pesos ☑️The maximum denomination of the Argentine peso is only 1000 (3 dollars), so after the exchange you will get a large stack of bills tied with rubber bands, and your wallet will definitely not be able to close‼ ️You can put it in a bag, the experience of rich people💥 . #Argentina Travel #Meet the World #Places I Want to Go #Argentina Prices

King crabs for just over 200 each? Oh my god, you must eat enough! Any diners who have been to Ushuaia and love to eat must remember the name "Old Captain". This restaurant called El Viejo Marino is the well-deserved "King of King Crabs 🦀️" in Ushuaia. Everyone who comes here is thinking about feasting on a fresh and cheap king crab. Unlike the hundreds or thousands of crabs in China, one here is clearly marked at 2350 pesos, which is only more than 200 yuan! The freshly caught 🦀️ filled the water tank at the door. When you order one, someone will fish it out and send it to the kitchen to steam it directly. The sea crab has a natural light salty taste, and the fresh and plump meat is more visible without seasoning~ In the two days in Ushuaia, I ate twice in a row~ Although one of the times was because the restaurant 🦀️ I originally wanted to go to was sold out, but Old Captain is indeed a restaurant worth coming back to! 🤫However, there are ways to eat crabs, and here are some tips for you~ 🍽El Viejo Marino (nicknamed "Old Captain") 📍Location: On the main tourist road by the sea, not far from the cruise terminal ⏰Waiting for a table: Because it is so popular, waiting for a table at mealtime is inevitable. This restaurant does not accept reservations, and I waited for about 15-25 minutes twice. 🦀️Highly recommended: whole king crab, seafood rice. The crabs are freshly caught every day, and they are cut open with a pair of large scissors to reveal the fresh and plump meat, which is very satisfying~ 💰Price: 2350 pesos per whole king crab, which is less than 300 yuan. The size is random when it is caught, but you can quietly tell the order boy that you want a "bigger" one, and he will satisfy you 😉 Remember to leave a little tip after the meal~ Seafood rice is 1000+ pesos, and the method is completely different from Spanish paella, with a strong spice flavor and a large portion of seafood! There are also appetizers such as king crab soup and seafood soup, which you can also try~ but the taste is not particularly amazing. 🌟Tips: According to my observation and everyone's feedback, there are fewer whole crabs in the restaurant at noon and the remaining ones are smaller (I only had the last one on the first day), but there will be a lot of crabs in the evening🦀️, and there may be giant crabs in the full tank~ In addition to the old captain, I talked with some friends who live in Ushuaia and got another recommendation. Although I didn't eat it because the crabs were sold out, it should be great! You can eat alternately with the old captain~ 🍽Volver 🌟Recommendation reason: The crabs are of good quality, and other seafood varieties are more abundant, and you can also eat sea urchins~ 💰Price: King crabs are sold by size, ranging from 2900 pesos to 4900, which is actually not expensive after calculation~ 🌟Tips: This store 🦀️ has less stock than the old captain. We were told that there were no crabs after 8 o'clock in the evening... If you want to eat, it is recommended to go early.

Finally arrived at Ushuaia, the city farthest from China. It is the filming location of Wong Kar-wai's film "Happy Together". The city is not big, with a main street that takes no more than 20 minutes to walk. Every road leading to the seaside can see cruise ships docked at the pier. They are almost all cruise ships to Antarctica. Must-do things in Ushuaia: 1️⃣Take a boat to see the lighthouse at the end of the world 2️⃣Eat a meal of king crab at the old captain's house 3️⃣Go to the prison museum 4️⃣Tierra del Fuego National Park, small train, post office 5️⃣Waiting for the last ticket to Antarctica #Ctrip Community vlog Creator Plan #Winter Travel Guide #Have Fun with Friends #Couple Travel #Scenic Spots Photo Guide

We are at the end of the world - Ushuaia~ This is the farthest city from China. How far is it? It takes at least 30 hours to fly here with a transfer, and at least two transfers. People come here to go to Antarctica. But this small city is also very popular. Going to the old captain's house El Viejo Marino to eat king crab is definitely worth queuing for an hour. Let me tell you quietly, whether there is a king crab in the aquarium at the door is a weather vane for whether you can eat king crab today. If not, don't wait even if the queue is long. #与世界再逢 #2023年第一旅行
