• 5Very good

  I had an amazing experience on the hike to Laguna Esmeralda. That place is truly beautiful. Ramón was an excellent guide and Daniel drove us there safely.

• 2Don't book this tour if...

  Don't book this tour if you are arriving on a cruise ship, unless you are absolutely sure you arrive and can get off the ship by 9:30am.

• 5Beautiful lagoon and cute birds

  Great guide, very beautiful landscape. Group was 50% spanish and 50% north american. Could feed small birds from my hand with nuts. 10/10 would do again

• 5Good hike in the snow!

  This isn’t a difficult hike but you do need to take it seriously (it had been snowing that morning)! The tour operator rightly insisted on boots (not trail shoes) which we hired for around £6. Our guide was very good and informative. Always a pleasure to hike in a group.

• 5Tough memorable hike with snow and mud

  Tough trekking with snow, slush and mid. Nicholas did great job..if we didnt rent the water proof boots and clothes from Cambre, it would have been a disastrous trekking. You need to be conditioned to tackle this wet terrain. Check the weather and conditions.

• 5Dont think twice, Book it!

  This is simply the best part of our Ushuaia trip! Everything is perfect: very responsive and attentive in the preparations prior to the trip (recommended a place to rent gears); morning pickup on time - and our guide Juan is the BEST.. we are also lucky to have a good group with us! High recommended experience!

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.
