First trek: Sunset at the Fuegian Lakes
This approximately 3-hour hike ascends to a mountain summit offering panoramic views of the Andes and Fuegian lakes. At the vantage point, participants enjoy a hot drink while taking in the scenery.
Snow is present for much of the year, so snowshoes or crampons are used depending on conditions.
