The "Ferrocarril Austral Fueguino" is situated outside the city of Ushuaia, 10km to the West of the city. The F.C.A.F. leaves the "Estación del Fin del Mundo" travelling along the route used by the convict train 100 years ago. It runs through the "Cañadon del Toro" and crosses the river Pipo on the "Puente Quemado" (Burnt Bridge), where you can see the wooden ruins of the old bridge underneath the new one. During the journey on the train passengers will be accompanied by a bilingual guide (Spanish-English), who will recount the history of the "Convict Train".
