With the aim of highlighting the deep bond that unites the city with sovereignty over the Malvina Islands, the Secretariat for Malvina Affairs of the Municipality of Ushuaia launched a series of free guided tours through different points of the capital of Tierra del Fuego.

The proposal, which does not require prior registration, began on Tuesday, March 17 at 10 a.m. and will be repeated every Tuesday and Thursday, offering an experience that transcends historical chronology to delve into local identity.

The tour begins at the Pensar Malvinas Historical Museum, where an introductory talk contextualizes the central themes of the relationship with the archipelago. It covers everything from the discovery of the islands, the colonial history, and the official Argentine settlement to the British invasion of 1833, including the 1982 war, diplomatic claims, and the geographical foundations that support national sovereignty.

The journey then continues at the Old Beban House, where the importance of preserving the city's architectural and intangible heritage is highlighted.

The itinerary continues in the Islas Malvinas square, a space where its history and the meaning of the elements that make it up are explained.

The activity concludes next to the traditional Ushuaia sign, with a stop for taking photographs, while on the return to the starting point a passage is made through the Bahía Encerrada Urban Nature Reserve.

The organizers emphasized the experiential nature of the initiative. “More than a history lesson, it’s an invitation to discover our identity,” they stated, while also highlighting the impact on the participants: “The most rewarding thing is that they discover that the Malvinas/Malvinas issue is not just a thing of the past, but remains alive in the present.”
