Highlights

Discover the paradisiacal secret hidden in the mountains of Tierra del Fuego: the Laguna Esmeralda trekking. Do you like nature and the mountains? Then this hike is for you.

We will pick you up at your hotel, and we will travel 16 kilometers by vehicle along National Route No. 3 until we reach the beginning of the path. The adventure begins! In total, 9 kilometers (round trip) await you walking through the forest: glacial valleys, beaver farms, peat bogs and the Fuegian magic that accompanies you throughout the journey. This walk is considered of medium difficulty, and does not present significant unevenness.

    10 min

  2. En route to the Emerald Lagoon, a stop at the Carbajal Valley Lookout invites you to stop and take in one of the most imposing landscapes of Tierra del Fuego. From this scenic point, an extensive valley of glacier origin unfolds, covered with peat bogs, meandering rivers and surrounded by the imposing Fueguin mountain range. It is the ideal place to take pictures, breathe fresh air and connect with nature in its purest form. On clear days, the contrasts of colors and the breadth of landscape make this stop an unforgettable moment within the excursion.

    30 min

  3. The arrival at the Emerald Lagoon is the highlight of the walk, where nature is shown at its best. Its intense green waters, fueled by the melting of the Ojo del Albino glacier, contrast with the surrounding mountains, forests and turbulence. The landscape is serene and majestic, ideal for lounging, taking photographs and enjoying a unique moment in the heart of Fueguina mountain range. It is a place that invites you to disconnect, appreciate the silence and take an unforgettable memory of the end of the world.

About Ushuaia

Ushuaia, on the Beagle Channel in Tierra del Fuego, is often called the southernmost city in the world, a port ringed by snowy peaks.

Ushuaia sits on a narrow shelf between the Beagle Channel and the Martial mountains, in the Argentine half of Tierra del Fuego. It began as a mission and later became a penal colony, and the old prison, now a museum, tells that story alongside the maritime history of the far south. Painted houses climb the slope, and the harbour is where expedition ships leave for Antarctica.
