Description

Sitting roughly 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) northeast of Ushuaia, Laguna Esmeralda is a stunningly scenic location tucked into the tip of the Andes Mountains!

Our adventure to this unique and interesting place begins at 9 am when I come to pick you up at your accommodation and we drive on to the trailhead.

From here, we will hike on mostly flat terrain, passing through a native forest, hanging glaciers and imperious looking mountains before we arrive at the emerald-green waters of the laguna.

The laguna is surrounded by the Glaciar Albino, a craggy peak known as Las Torres and another one known as El Cordón Toribio. In this stunningly scenic spot, we will stop to enjoy lunch.

After eating lunch, we can visit a small waterfall and then begin trekking back to the trailhead and driving back to Ushuaia.

Overall, the hike is fairly easy since it is mostly flat. We will walk about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) round trip and only gain 100 meters (330 feet) in elevation.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun, scenic and exciting 1-day hiking tour from Ushuaia to Laguna Esmeralda!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
