About this activity

Discover one of the most spectacular hikes in Tierra del Fuego and experience the wild beauty of Patagonia at the End of the World.

Just 15 minutes from Ushuaia, this trekking adventure takes you through pristine peat bogs, native lenga forests, rivers, and breathtaking mountain landscapes of the Fuegian Andes.

The trail gradually ascends toward the alpine zone, leading to the stunning Tempanos Lagoon and the impressive Vinciguerra Glacier, one of Ushuaia’s hidden natural gems. Weather and group conditions permitting, we will continue closer to the glacier to admire its crevasses, blue ice formations, and unique moulins.

After enjoying unforgettable panoramic views and incredible photo opportunities, we return along the same trail before heading back to your hotel.

Important:

Proper mountain clothing is required for safety reasons. If needed, trekking gear rental is available before departure.
