Dog sledding draws tourists back to Ushuaia
In the midst of the snowy valleys of Ushuaia, Argentina’s southernmost city, Hugo Flores arranges dog sleds in preparation for his visitors. They’ve returned just in time to enjoy this winter activity, which is still up and running despite the huge blow dealt to tourism by the coronavirus pandemic.
Flores’ cabin, which once received hundreds of visitors a year, was the starting-point for the ‘Carrera del Fin del Mundo’ (“Race of the End of the World”), a sledding contest for participants, who arrived without fail every year with their dogs from all latitudes. Then came Covid-19, forcing the competition to be suspended.
The closure of Argentina’s frontiers hit the enterprise, mainly built on foreign visitors, receiving around 150 tourists daily pre-pandemic, even further.
