The cheapest way to get to Ushuaia will be to fly to Buenos Aires or Santiago and then get the bus down. But it is three thousand kilometres & 40 hours!

Otherwise, you can fly to Punta Arenas or Ushuaia... look on expedia.co.uk for deals.

You could, for example, get a return international flight to Buenos Aires, Rio or Santiago and then a single BA - Ushuaia and Quito - BA. Or what about Quito - Ushuaia single? JLA deals...

Visas are not needed for Brits. Other nationalities - contact me.

Travel Insurance: shop around but make sure it covers you for the activities you want to do, and is valid for a continuous trip. You should be looking at about £300 for the full expedition.
