Itinerary
Laguna Esmeralda Trekking Itinerary
From Ushuaia, 18 km along Route No. 3, a short minibus transfer will take you to the Tierra Mayor Valley, where you will begin a 9 km trek with an elevation change of 200 meters, among snowy valleys, frozen streams and forests of lenga and coihue trees.

The path that paves the way for impact
Nine kilometers through ancient lenga forests, peat bogs, and streams that freeze over in winter. The landscape is constantly changing—every bend in the trail reveals something new.
Emerald Lagoon — that color that doesn't exist anywhere else
The turquoise waters, tinted by sediments from the Ojo del Albino Glacier, create an impossible green hue. Upon reaching the edge of the lagoon, the silence and the color instantly make the entire trek worthwhile.
Lunch by the water with the glacier in the background
The included lunch is enjoyed with the Ojo del Albino Glacier as a backdrop. Few lunches in the world offer such a view. The return journey offers the same scenery, but the perspective is entirely different.
