USHUAIA: TREKKING IN LAGUNA DE LOS TÉMPANOS AND VINCIGUERRA GLACIER

Patagonia, Argentina, Argentina



In a demanding hike through the Fuegian Cordillera we visit the beautiful Laguna de los Témpanos and arrive at the foot of the magnificent Vinciguerra Glacier.

Highlights

  • Explore the majestic Fuegian Mountain Range
  • We visit some of the ice caves that form in the millennia-old glacier
  • Forests, wetlands, rivers, lagoons and glaciers: all that this trek has to offer

Description

To begin, we cross the Valley of Andorra, where we see the famous peat bogs. This entire wetland, along with the meltwater river that runs through it, gives us stunning views before the ascent. We then enter the native forest and begin the climb that takes us to the tree line. vegetation. There, we come out in front of a meltwater waterfall and take a short break on the banks of the stream. From this point, we can see part of the glacier. Once we've recharged our batteries, we face the last and most demanding ascent that takes us to the Tempanos Lagoon. Upon arrival, we take some time to take pictures, appreciate the beautiful glacial lagoon, and spot the ice giant on the other side of it. Finally, we only have to walk for 20 minutes along the lagoon to reach the foot of the glacier, where we can feel the ice, see its cracks, listen to its internal rivers, and explore the caves that form in it. In this area, sitting next to the glacier, we enjoy our lunch. After this magical moment, we begin the return journey by descending the mountain.
