We are a boutique receptive agency and our passion is to take care of every detail. Our proposal will take you to a trekking trail that reaches the Emerald Lagoon. From the hotel we will go by comfortable transport to the start of the trail. From there we will take the trail that enters the forest inside the Tierra Mayor Valley. We will cross several turbulence and rocky terrain. We will continue our hike along the Emerald River until we reach the indescribable Emerald Lagoon, a small lake of glacier origin, which owes its name to the color given to the sediments that come from the Ojo del Albino Glacier. This color can only be seen in summer as in winter it will be frozen and covered in snow. While we enjoy the view of the Lagoon we will charge energy eating a box lunch. We can now start the return, where the road will be familiar and we can have the last chance to appreciate the beauties around us. Important: bring bottle water

By taking this trekking tour with us we ensure that the experience will not only be the wonderful landscape that surrounds us, but that the guides who are part of EXPLORE are naturalists who love Southern Patagonia and we will ensure that your visit is also interpretive of nature. We like to walk, explore, learn and teach Tierra del Fuego to our visitors. We do hikes with small groups, we take the time to enjoy each site we visit, and we take safety, professionalism and care of nature as a priority on our tours.

For safety reasons, mountain clothing is necessary for this activity. In case you do not have the appropriate clothing you will have the option to rent. We get to the starting point by following national route 3 for about 17 kilometers; we begin the hike at the trail’s parking lot, which quickly takes us deep into the forest. The trail takes us close to a beaver dam and crosses the valley until finding a peat bog, where it will follow the Esmeralda river all the way to its source in the Esmeralda lagoon. After a final climb, we will get to the lagoon: frozen in the winter and dazzling us with its stunning color during the summer. If the weather is good enough, we will have lunch by the lagoon with a breathtaking view of the Albino glacier, the lagoon, and the surroundings. Afterward, we will take the same trail back to the transfer that will take you to your hotel.

Ushuaia was born at the foot of the fascinating Cordillera de los Andes, its glaciers, lagoons and valleys make this experience an unforgettable adventure.

Ideal for nature enthusiasts, this tour ventures into the heart of the Tierra del Fuego Nature Reserve and Landscape, home to the stunning Emerald Lagoon. The 4-hour Ushuaia Esmeralda Lagoon Trek provides opportunities to admire scenic landscapes and observe local flora. With luck, you might even spot foxes, condors, and beavers along the way.

Albino Eye Glacier Trekking The adventure has a total distance of 19 km where we cross the Tierra Mayor valley (one of the largest wetlands), we cross the fantastic nothofagus forest, we visit the Esmeralda lagoon and also some beavers. Depending on the season of the year we will find different scenarios. During the summer we will be able to see incredible icebergs floating on the glacier, a product of the great retreat that it presents. During the winter we have the possibility of approaching the magnificent ice walls of the glacier front thanks to its frozen lagoon, an epic experience. Undoubtedly, this trek is one of the most complete that you can do in Ushuaia. Adventure, the passage of glaciers in time and fantastic views are something that this proposal offers for those who have sufficient physical condition and are always looking for a challenge! You will live an authentic experience at the end of the world!
