Can you imagine sending a letter from the ends of the earth? The most remote post office is located here. Opening hours are a bit erratic, so don't be caught off guard.

The infamous post office at the end of the world is located in the picturesque bay of Bahía Ensenada Zaratiegui on the Beagle Channel. Here you can have the end of the world stamped in your passport for 3 (!) USD and actually send (expensive) end of the world mail.
Due to the pandemic, the post office has lost a living legend: the talkative Carlos with the iconic moustache, who doesn't mince his words, has retired from his post office after a serious Covid illness. Since 2021, he himself has only been there very rarely.
