About this tour
Experience a day of technical adventure and wild landscapes at the End of the World. Below, we detail the route of this high-mountain trekking in Ushuaia:
Start at Tierra Mayor Valley
We begin with the pick-up from selected hotels to transfer to the starting point in the Tierra Mayor Valley. The first stretch takes us through native forests and peat bogs, typical of Tierra del Fuego's geography. After approximately an hour of walking, we reach the famous Emerald Lagoon, where we take a short break to rest and enjoy its unique color.
Technical Ascent through the Andes Mountains
After skirting the lagoon, the real adventure begins: the ascent through rocky terrain (scree). This is the most demanding stage of the trek:
- Intensity: A steady climb of about 3 hours.
- Landscape: We leave the vegetation behind to surround ourselves with the imposing peaks of the Andes Mountains.
- Safety: We cross orange-hued rock walls to a natural balcony with panoramic views of Emerald Lagoon.
In the final climbing section, depending on the season and terrain, hands may be needed to advance. The use of a helmet and technical gear is mandatory, and our specialized guides supervise every step to ensure a safe experience.
Arrival at the Glacier and Mountain Lunch
After about 4.5 hours of effort, the reward is unmatched: the Ojo del Albino Glacier.
- The Setting: An impressive 20-meter high front wall and a green meltwater lagoon.
- Winter Season: The lagoon freezes and is covered in snow, allowing you to walk to the very base of the glacier.
In this unique natural environment, we share a mountain lunch, recover energy, and enjoy the peace of the summit before heading back along the same trail.
