Itinerary
Pass by: In the morning, our adventure begins with hotel pickups from selected Ushuaia locations, marking the start of our exciting journey.
We will embark on a minibus journey covering approximately 20 km to reach the Tierra Mayor Valley, a hub for various excursions. Our destination is the Nunatak refuge, situated in this picturesque valley. Starting our trek from the refuge, we will traverse through peat bogs, streams, and the ancient forests of Lengas and Coihues, showcasing the typical vegetation of the region. And if we are lucky, we may even encounter local wildlife, including foxes, condors, and beavers.
We will continue our trek until we reach the captivating Emerald Lagoon, located at the heart of the Tierra del Fuego Nature Reserve and Landscape. The unique color of the water, along with its strategic location in the Cordillera Fueguina, invites us to pause along its shores, taking in the beautiful scenery. It's at this point that we'll be provided with our Lunch Box, allowing us to savor our meal surrounded by the natural beauty. Upon concluding our time at the lagoon, we'll make our way back to the Nunatak refuge, following a different path from our initial route. This allows us to further explore and appreciate the diversity of the reserve.
Pass by: From the refuge, we'll board the minibus for a comfortable return to our hotels by approximately 4:00 pm, bringing our journey to a close.

Traveler reviews
Very nice trip with good view of nature.
Very nice trip with good view of nature. The road is not a difficult but is muddy and need wear high water proof shoes. The guide is professional and friendly.
Fabulosa Lagoa Esmeralda
Quiet walk in the snow and absolutely rewarding. We were lucky to catch snow on the road that made all the difference. Wonderful landscape on the way and when you get to the lagoon the feeling is indescribable. We were offered delicious snack and soup. Our guide Sonia was exceptionally dear and attentive. A fox was waiting for us in the snow! A gift! Immense gratitude to be able to live moments like what we are living. Nice walk
Sensational
All frozen then is called WHITE LAGUE. It is necessary to put chains of crampons on the shoe. Track average difficulty. It can be done on the ground but I indicate Agencia as it is an isolated place (no cell phone) and the weather can snow or rain without notice. Agency took 2 guides with the group and we had to sign Termo Responsibility, so it's the tip. It's not that simple! Spectacular place and walking through the woods.
One of the best tours I've taken
Wonderful and challenging walk, with unique landscapes. The best part is when you arrive at the emerald lagoon, which is beautiful, breathtaking. The tour requires trekking shoes and warm, waterproof clothing. Walking time is around 5 hours, so be prepared
Beautiful place
The incredible place. Spectacular journey. The bad thing, do not use the purchase route because even though they tell you without taxes, they charge you in dollars, since it is paid in Argentina. That route they offer here is a total scam.
