Description
Sitting just north of the city of Ushuaia, Cerro del Medio rises up to about 800 meters (2,624 feet) above sea level.
From its exposed summit, hikers can enjoy panoramic views out over Tierra del Fuego. Both the city and the Beagle Channel are easily seen as well as the rest of this easternmost tip of the Andes Mountains.
Our adventure to the summit begins at 9 am, after I pick you up from your accommodation and we drive to the trailhead at the north of the city, arriving by 9:45.
We begin the hike by heading through a Fueguino forest, steadily increasing in elevation until we break out above the trees and begin getting our first views out over the surrounding landscape.
By 1:00 pm, we will arrive at the Laguna Margot and just half an hour later, we will reach the summit.
Be sure to bring proper hiking boots for this 10.1-kilometer (6.2 miles) roundtrip hike, as the trail gets quite muddy underfoot and there is oftentimes snow at the summit.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun, exciting and scenic 1-day hiking trip from Ushuaia to the summit of Cerro del Medio!

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.
