Description
The adventure begins by taking National Route 3 north, leaving Ushuaia behind as the imposing Olivia and Cinco Hermanos mountains dominate the horizon. Upon arriving at the Tierra Mayor valley, we prepare to begin a 5 km (10 km round trip) hike to one of the most amazing landscapes in Tierra del Fuego: Laguna Esmeralda.
After a safety briefing and putting on crampons and walking sticks, we begin the trek, crossing glacial valleys and sub-Antarctic forests steeped in history. We walk along trails once traveled by ancient woodcutters, now inhabited by beavers that have transformed the environment with their dams. The route is a combination of wet terrain, forests, peat bogs, and small slopes, always surrounded by unspoiled natural surroundings.
The turquoise color of the Esmeralda Lagoon, which owes its hue to the presence of glacial sediments, appears as a reward for our efforts. At this time of year, we circle the lagoon, trekking among rocks, streams, and ice, until we reach a warm and cozy dome-shaped shelter in the middle of nature.
There, a well-deserved rest awaits us by the fire, where we enjoy a hot mountain stew, relaxed conversation, and an atmosphere of camaraderie among adventurers. Before heading back, we savor a comforting hot coffee while contemplating the unspoiled landscape of Tierra del Fuego, recharging our batteries and filling our memories with unique experiences from the southern tip of the world.
A perfect experience for those looking to disconnect, walk, and reconnect with nature in its purest form.
