Description

Come with us to explore the enchanting Emerald Lake, near Ushuaia, the southernmost city in Argentina. Get ready to trek through a magical native forest and unwind beside a crackling fire in a cozy mountain dome!

Your journey starts on National Route 3, leading you towards Ushuaia's gates. Mount Olivia and Mount 5 Hermanos guide your path. Deep within a dirt valley, we'll begin our 5km trek (10km round trip) into a stunning mountain paradise.

Carved by ancient glaciers, the valleys we'll explore reveal their history in the vibrant hues of the glacial lakes. After a briefing on using crampons and walking sticks, we delve into the sub-Antarctic forest, a landscape once shaped by loggers and now a haven for beavers.

Our journey culminates at the lagoon where, depending on the season, it might be transformed into a frozen wonderland. With your guide's approval, you can even walk across the ice, a truly thrilling experience!

After a long and rewarding trek, our cozy dome awaits, offering a warm fire to melt away the chill. A mountain stew, friendly conversation, and shared experiences complete the restorative experience. Contemplate the beauty of the landscape with a steaming cup of coffee before returning to Ushuaia.

About the guide: Pedro

Pedro

Mountain Guide

My name is Pedro (Peter) Lima. I was born in Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. I always felt passion for adventure sports, like climbing, trekking, snowboarding. Also water sports and whichever activity practiced in natural environments that require the body to perform them.

All along the way in natural environments took me from being an eager adventurer to a skilled guide, looking forward for safety at my job.

Adventure sports are to me the greatest happiness expressions in the world, yet, the curiosity and desire to move forward, improving myself have shown to me that there is always something more to do, this to be the reason I reached to Mendoza, cradle of Argentinean mountaineering. Here I found the chance to make this sport, my life style, studying and training constantly in “First Aids”, “Leadership”, “Logistics and Management”. I professionally formed myself at EPGAMT.

As Superior Technician in Mountain Activities, specialized in Trekking guiding, I am trained to develop myself in the wilderness, self sufficiently, working with groups, organizations or any entity who offers mountain activities.

I constantly find myself improving my skills in planning, group leading, traverses, exploration, expeditions and ascensions through the whole Argentinean territory and neighbor countries.

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.
