Tour Description

Embark on a day filled with technical adventure and breathtaking wilderness at the End of the World. Discover below the detailed itinerary for this incredible high-mountain trekking experience in Ushuaia:

Begin at Tierra Mayor Valley

Our journey starts with the pick-up service from selected hotels, transferring you to the adventure’s starting point in the Tierra Mayor Valley. The initial segment winds through pristine native forests and peat bogs, characteristic of Tierra del Fuego’s unique landscape. After about one hour of hiking, we arrive at the renowned Emerald Lagoon, where we pause briefly to rest and appreciate its stunning, vibrant hues.

Technical Ascent Across the Andes Mountains

After circling the lagoon, the adventure intensifies with the ascent over rocky slopes (scree). This is the most challenging part of the trek:

  • Intensity: A steady uphill hike lasting approximately 3 hours.

  • Landscape: Leaving the forest behind, we are surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Andes Mountains.

  • Safety: We traverse striking orange rock faces to reach a natural balcony offering spectacular panoramic views of Emerald Lagoon.

In the final ascent, depending on the season and terrain conditions, you may need to use your hands for support. Wearing a helmet and technical equipment is required, with our expert guides accompanying you every step of the way to ensure your safety.

Reach the Glacier and Enjoy a Mountain Lunch

After around 4.5 hours of trekking, you’ll be rewarded with the spectacular sight of the Ojo del Albino Glacier.

  • The Setting: Marvel at the impressive 20-meter high glacier wall and a striking green meltwater lagoon.

  • Winter Season: During winter, the lagoon freezes and is cloaked in snow, making it possible to walk right up to the glacier’s base.

In this awe-inspiring natural setting, we enjoy a hearty mountain lunch, recharge, and take in the tranquility of the summit before returning along the same route.

Reviews

Como fue nuestro primer viaje internacional en familia, queríamos algo especial y este trekking superó todo lo esperado. Por el precio, la calidad nos pareció fantástica: traslado, guía, vianda abundante y crampones incluidos para el glaciar. Éramos apenas diez personas, así que caminamos tranquilos y se armó un ambiente muy ameno; hasta compartimos mate con una pareja de Córdoba junto a la Laguna Esmeralda. El guía estuvo pendiente de nosotros, jubilados, sin apurarnos. Volvimos cansados pero felices: paisajes increíbles y organización impecable.

Glaciar, laguna y grupo chico: un día inolvidable en Ushuaia

After a year of work, this was exactly the reset we needed. The Ojo del Albino trek was challenging but wildly worth it, with a fantastic guide, big views, and the lagoon as the reward. For the price, the transport, gear advice, and full-day experience felt like a bargain. Booking with Best Patagonia Tours was painless: Martina replied within an hour and even flagged the need for waterproof boots. Tired, muddy, and ridiculously happy.

A muddy, breathtaking escape to Ojo del Albino with service worth every peso

Fizemos essa trilha no fim de semana e saímos encantados. O pacote entrega muito pelo preço: transporte, guia, caminhada até a Lagoa Esmeralda, lanche e trekking com crampons na geleira Ojo de Albino. Nosso guia preparou mate quente perto do mirante, detalhe simples que fez diferença no frio. Foram quase oito horas bem aproveitadas, com paisagens incríveis e ritmo tranquilo.

Geleira, lagoa e aventura: um dia completo em Ushuaia

Unser Höhepunkt in Ushuaia war diese Tour: Unser Guide Martín kannte jeden Abschnitt zwischen Wald, Moor und Gletscher erstaunlich genau und erklärte uns sogar, warum sich das Eis dort bläulich färbt. Wir wanderten zur Laguna Esmeralda, stapften mit Steigeisen über den Albino-Gletscher, probierten Gletscherwasser und machten eine kurze Pause mit Mate. Trotz Nebel fühlten wir uns jederzeit sicher. Als junges Paar ohne Kinder, unterwegs mit der Familie in der Nebensaison, fanden wir das Tempo perfekt.

Zwischen Moor und Eis: Ushuaia mit echtem Insiderwissen

On a réservé l’excursion avec Best Patagonia Tours : Clara a répondu rapidement à nos questions et adapté le départ à notre arrivée. Au programme, randonnée en forêt, traversée en canoë, marche sur le glacier de l’Œil d’Albino et pause gourmande près de Laguna Esmeralda. Guide attentif, paysages incroyables, journée intense et joyeuse.
