What a seat on the train costs this season

The railway publishes one price list for the season that runs from October 2026 to March 2027, and it is short.1 A Turista class seat costs ARS 80,000 for anyone over 13, whether you live in Argentina or fly in from abroad.1 That fare buys the whole ride, out to the national park and back again, because every ticket the operator sells is a return.8 There is no cheaper single on the list.

Children are where the sums soften. A child of 4 to 12 pays ARS 40,000, half the adult fare, and an infant of 0 to 3 pays nothing.2 Do not skip the infant when you book online: the operator wants every baby entered in the purchase so that a seat is held for them.3 Argentine retirees have their own line at ARS 52,000, a national fare that foreign pensioners cannot claim.9

So the End of the World Train price for a family is easy to work out at home: each adult or teenager over 13 adds ARS 80,000 in Turista class, and each child of 4 to 12 adds ARS 40,000, before the park and the ride to the station.1,2 Keep the season in mind as you plan: the published list covers October to March, so a trip later in the year may meet a new list.

Premium, VIP and Charter: what the dearer classes add

Premium is the class to weigh against Turista. It costs ARS 250,000 for an adult and ARS 125,000 for a child of 4 to 12.6 For that you board first, ride in premium heated carriages, eat on board, take home souvenirs, pose for a photo with actors in costume and may get a look inside the workshops if operations allow.7 Turista is no bare bench either: its carriages are heated too, with comfortable seats and big windows.15

The meal depends on the clock. Breakfast is served on the 9:30 departure, lunch on the 12:00 and 15:00 trains, and at lunch each passenger over 18 may pick 1 alcoholic drink.16 Vegetarian, vegan and coeliac menus exist, as long as you choose them when you pick the meals.17 Families with toddlers should note that a free infant ticket comes without the Premium menu, so pack a snack for the smallest rider.

Above Premium sit the classes with no public fare. VIP runs in the historic Presidential Car, which carries its own kitchen and toilet and a hostess.18 It adds a 3-course tasting menu, drinks for the whole ride and a guided visit to the railway workshops.19 Charter hands a group the train on its own terms and at a time that suits it.20 Both are arranged by email with the operator, which quotes each request individually.

The national park fee that sits on top

The figure that surprises people is the second ticket. Entry to Tierra del Fuego National Park is not part of the train fare, and the operator calls it compulsory for the ride.5 The reason is geography: the main station stands 1 km before the park entrance, and the line runs on into the protected area.22 Whoever rides, pays the park.

The park fees in force since 1 June 2026 are ARS 40,000 for the general visitor, ARS 18,000 for Argentine residents, ARS 12,000 for students holding an Argentine student card, and ARS 8,000 if you live in the province.4,23 Children from 0 to 6, Argentine retirees and pensioners, and people with disabilities enter free.24 The parks administration sells the access ticket online through a shop linked from its fee page.25

So a foreign adult pays ARS 80,000 for the Turista ride and a further ARS 40,000 to enter the park, on separate tickets.1,4 If you plan more than one day in Argentina's national parks, the administration also sells Flexipass tickets for 3 and 7 days and a yearly pass, which can beat paying at each gate.26 Check the current rate before you go, because the park list is dated and changes.

Tours that bundle the ride, and what they charge

You need never queue at the station window, because a tour can sort the ride for you. On GetYourGuide, a ticket listing for the train alone starts from $50, a 2-hour slot with a host who speaks any of 10 languages. Its own notes remind you that the park ticket must be bought as well. A park outing where the ride is an add-on starts from $49, and its park ticket is excluded too.

The bundle with the longest review record pairs park stops with a 1-hour ride over 5 hours, from $105 and rated 4.4 across 1,062 reviews. The tour this site books costs from $180 for a 4.5-hour morning that covers pickup, a Spanish or English speaking guide, the ride and a stop at Lapataia Bay. Its record is silent on the park fee, so ask the operator before you pay.

At the top end, a full day that adds a Beagle Channel boat to the park and the train starts from $190 and lasts 8.5 hours. A private park tour starts from $400, and its operator wants a message beforehand if you hope to ride, as seats can run out. The End of the World Train cost therefore spans a wide band, from a bare seat to a guided day with a boat.

Discounts and free places, and how to claim them

The railway runs its discount schemes on Turista class only. Riders with a disability certificate (CUD) pay half from age 13, and those up to 12 ride free.30 Residents of Tierra del Fuego with an ID showing an address in Ushuaia, Tolhuin or Rio Grande get 50% off from age 7, and their children of 0 to 6 ride free.31 Both need paperwork shown at the station.

Neither discount comes through the normal online checkout. The operator asks for them through a separate request form, and it does not refund a full fare bought online by someone who could have claimed a discount.32 Choosing the wrong fare category by mistake is not refunded either, whether that is a retiree, resident, child or infant line.33 Read the categories twice before you pay.

Visitors from abroad will find few reductions. The child and infant fares apply to everyone, and the park lets children up to 6 in for free, which takes the edge off a family bill.2,24 Beyond that, the saving is in timing: buying early secures a seat, and a tour that includes transport saves arranging your own ride to the station.

Paying at the station, by card or in cash

The station takes most forms of payment. Cash is accepted in Argentine pesos, Brazilian reais, US dollars and euros, and the cards are Visa, Mastercard and American Express; Mercado Pago, PayPal and PIX work only on the website.34 The province accepts the same foreign currencies in many places, but the peso is the legal tender.35

Bring the cash with you if you plan to use it. There are no cash machines at the station, which sits 8 km out of town on National Route 3.29,28 The railway has no sales office in the centre either: you buy on its website or at the station ticket window, and the window sells only what is left on the day.36 Settle the money question in town before you leave.

In high season the operator recommends buying online in advance to be sure of a seat.10 A ticket is sold for a time slot, and within that slot you may be seated on any of the trains that leave at 15-minute intervals.37 The tour listings settle the ride in their own fare, so if you book a tour you only need cash for extras, the park gate where it is not covered, and a coffee at the station.

Cancelling, changing dates and getting money back

Direct bookings follow the railway's own rules. A cancellation requested at least 24 hours before the date is refunded minus a 5% administration charge.11 Inside the last 24 hours there is no refund at all: the ticket counts as a no-show.38 Requests must be made in writing to the operator's sales address with your name, booking number and reason.

Changing the date is possible if you ask at least 24 hours ahead, subject to free seats and to the fare in force on the new day.12 Moving into another season costs the gap between the season fares, paid at the ticket office before boarding.39 Treat a direct ticket as fixed unless your plans are firm, and store the voucher offline as well as in your email.

Tours booked on GetYourGuide are kinder to changing plans. The tour on this site and the most-reviewed park and train tour both return the whole fare if you cancel 24 hours or more ahead, and nothing is charged at booking. One rival asks for 2 days' notice instead, so read each listing. For a cruise passenger or anyone watching the weather, that flexibility is worth part of the higher fare.
