\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A<\/b> TOUR THAT LITERALLY TAKES YOU TO THE END OF THE WORLD<\/u><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

WHEN Far Horizons say they’ll take you to “The End of the World” they mean it \u2013 as part of a 37-day tour of South America you’ll travel 14km on a narrow-gauge steam train along a line built in 1896 to carry convicts and supplies to a prison at Ushuaia \u2013 the\u00a0 world’s southern-most city.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Plus you’ll stay up to three nights in some of the almost-20 cities, towns and national parks visited in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile, with quality accommodation ranging from original palaces to recreated colonial mansions and some of the regions’ finest hotels. Modes of transport include air, coach, ferry, historic steam engines such as “The End of the World” and the “Old Patagonian Express” made famous by author Paul Theroux in his book of the same name\u00a0 \u2013 and if you want, even at one stage on foot or by horseback.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Along the way you’re likely to see sea lions, elephant seals, penguins, humpback whales, dolphins, giant sea elephants, Patagonian llamas, ostrich-like rheats, and teeming birdlife including a colony of mighty condors.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Plus there’ll be magnificent views of the snow-capped Andes, glaciers, visits to hill stations and coastal resorts, palaces, ancient churches and neo-classical villages, terraced gardens and national parks, gold-boom towns and their museums, and journeys through the Chilean fjords, across lakes and the famous Beagle Channel and waters surrounding Ushuaia on “The Island of Fire” at the very “bottom of the world.” <\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
