Join us on this hike to Emerald Lagoon with views of Mount Olivia and Cinco Hermanos. Youโll also enjoy a delicious lunch at a mountain refuge. An experience youโll never forget!
Activity Details
At the indicated time, weโll pick you up from your hotel in Ushuaia and head toward National Route 3. Just a short ride from the city, weโll arrive at the starting point of one of the most iconic trails in Tierra del Fuego. Let the adventure begin!
With your sneakers ready, weโll begin a hike of approximately 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) along trails that cross the AndeanโPatagonian forest. As we move forward, Mount Olivia and Cinco Hermanos will rise before us, reminding us that nature is in charge here. Weโll walk at a relaxed pace, with stops to hydrate, take photos, and talk about how this landscape was shaped by glaciers.
Before we know it, the green forest will open up and, almost without warning, Emerald Lagoon will appear before us. Its turquoise waters, fed by the meltwater of the Ojo del Albino Glacier, will shine with a hypnotic intensity under the morning light. Weโll take time to walk along its shores and admire the surroundings.
Afterward, weโll head to a mountain refuge, a cozy spot in the heart of nature, where it will be time to enjoy a delicious homemade lunch. Weโll taste a selection of appetizers and a comforting mountain stew, accompanied by coffee, tea, mate, and wine. Perfect after the hike!
With renewed energy, weโll begin the 5-kilometer (3.1 miles) return along the same trail, once again surrounded by the forests of Tierra del Fuego. Finally, weโll reach the vehicle and return to Ushuaia, where weโll drop you off at your hotel after a total of 6 hours of activity.
